Knob Creek Straight Rye | 7 Year Old | 50% | 70cl | Award-Winning American Rye Whiskey

The best of both worlds in one bottle. Knob Creek Straight Rye is a 7-year-old American rye whiskey that strikes a remarkable balance between two of the great American whiskey styles — the classic, spicy character of traditional rye and the sweeter, vanilla-rich warmth of high-corn bourbon. Matured for seven years in deeply charred barrels and bottled at a bold 50% ABV (100 proof), this is a whiskey that rewards drinkers who want depth and versatility: equally impressive neat, on ice, or as the backbone of a Manhattan or Old Fashioned.

About Knob Creek

Knob Creek is part of Jim Beam's celebrated Small Batch Bourbon Collection, named after the Kentucky creek that ran near Abraham Lincoln's childhood home. The range has long been defined by its commitment to longer ageing and bolder, fuller-flavoured expressions at higher proof — a deliberate nod to the pre-Prohibition era of American whiskey-making when quality, not volume, drove the craft. The Straight Rye applies that same philosophy to a high-corn rye mash bill, delivering a whiskey of rare balance and character at an accessible price.

Perfect For

• Rye whiskey enthusiasts looking for bold, well-aged character
• Cocktail lovers seeking the ideal base for a Manhattan or Old Fashioned
• Those exploring American whiskey beyond bourbon
• A great value gift for the whiskey drinker who enjoys something with real depth
