Knob Creek Single Barrel Rye takes Beam's straight rye whiskey and presents it at barrel proof from individually selected barrels. The result is one of the most intense and flavourful ryes in the Beam portfolio — the grain's natural peppery character amplified by the full barrel-proof strength.
The single barrel format adds individuality. Each barrel develops differently, and the selection process identifies barrels with exceptional character. The barrel proof — typically between 57% and 60% — ensures that nothing is lost to dilution.
Knob Creek Single Barrel Rye is one of the best values in cask-strength American rye. The Beam rye distillate is excellent, the single barrel selection adds interest, and the barrel proof delivers maximum flavour. At fifty dollars, it undercuts most comparable cask-strength ryes significantly.
