When I did my half-assed Basil Hayden's review last week, I was shocked, SHOCKED I tell you to find out that Knob Creek was one of the "Better Beams". Its name doesn't start with a B, how is that possible?
So, I went to a wine tasting last night and came home with a bottle of Rye. Why? Because I'm cool. The label tells me that it was patiently aged, because if you are impatient, those 9+ years just drag you down. It has a very strong cherry-nutty-oaky flavor. It's 100 proof and little bit of water helps to cool the burn.
Is it good? Yes.
Is it $37 good? Ummuhhmaybeishno.
Is it better than Russel's Rye? Nope.

I don't think this is very good sipping whisky...very harsh...maybe use it in a whisky sour?...
