About Knob Creek Rye Single Barrel Select
Knob Creek Rye Single Barrel Select is a high-proof rye whiskey from Jim Beam Brands, bottled at 57.5% ABV (115 proof) directly from a single barrel, offering bold, barrel-specific flavors that elevate it beyond the standard Knob Creek Rye. What makes it special is the cask-strength intensity and variation per barrel—expect expansive rye spice, herbal notes, oak, mint, caramel, peanuts, and baking spices, with a richer, hotter profile than the batched version at lower proof. It's ideal for rye enthusiasts seeking a powerful, neat-sipping pour or cocktail base, delivering premium quality at an accessible $32.28 for 750ml. In its category, it stands out for punching above its price with single-barrel uniqueness, surpassing standard ryes in depth and heat while competing with pricier picks through Jim Beam's masterful aging and selection.
Tasting Notes
👃 Nose
Expansive rye and herbal aromas mingle with nuances of oak, spearmint, caramel, and dusty notes. Spicy backing with mint, peanut, and baking spices adds richness, varying by barrel like richer profiles in picks such as 5722. Sweeter dusty oak and spearmint emerge in others like 5858.
👅 Palate
Bold rye spiciness dominates with undertones of vanilla, oak, mint, sharp peanut, and baking spices on a hot, viscous mouthfeel. Sweet honey, caramel, and orange peel provide balance in some barrels, with thick oily coating and elegant medium thickness. Layers of allspice and fruit notes build intensity without overwhelming.
✨ Finish
Warm, long, and lingering with baking spice, sharp oak, and peanut butter. Proofy spice persists elegantly.
