Knob Creek 45th & 47th Private Selection 750 ml

Knob Creek 45th & 47th Private Selection is a barrel-select bourbon from the Knob Creek distillery, part of the brand's Private Selection program where individual barrels are chosen by retailers or groups for a distinct, non-standard flavor profile compared to the flagship 9-year release. Knob Creek's core mash bill leans on a higher rye content than many bourbons, which typically gives Private Selection picks a spicier backbone than sweeter, corn-forward competitors. Expect caramel, vanilla, and oak with real rye spice threading through, and a longer finish than standard Knob Creek carries. Because it's barrel-select, this exact profile is unique to the selected barrel or barrels.

How to drink Knob Creek Private Selection

Pour it neat first to taste what makes this particular barrel selection stand out from standard Knob Creek. It also works well in a Manhattan if the extra rye spice appeals to you as a cocktail base.
