Knob Creek 10 year old, 50%

Aromas of vanilla, sugared breakfast cereal, rye grain, and wool sweater on the nose, followed by a palate that offers rich flavors of vanilla flan blackberry jam, cinnamon stick, sweet orange, and a pleasant cloak of peppery spice. The finish is long, with fiery spice balancing against sweet ripe berries, vanilla-coconut ice cream, baked peaches, and apple tart. Great integration; a mellowed rye with depth, complexity, and perfect balance.
