Is This New Knob Creek Release WORTH The HYPE?

[@sagmeister2234]

Knob spelled backwards is Bonk. That is all.

[@fenner1122]

🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯

[@paleggett1897]

So you are sharing you want to bonk yourself, and others?

[@yanksrule311]

There’s no argument for that. 😁

[@BB-sc1jv]

A very astute observation

[@davebenson8547]

you figure that out all by yourself?

[@tonic6734]

Enjoying Knob Creek 12 while watching the show. Thanks guys!🥃

[@thebrianfoster]

Love the new production features. An improvement on an already great channel

[@chrischromek1593]

Jack Daniels Single Barrel Barrel Proof Rye $65

[@deankruse4491]

Perhaps my favorite rye whiskey, but mine cost me $100

[@jasonczfan8658]

Hard to beat it too

[@chrislaframboise7577]

That’s the one I’m really enjoying now. Even bought a backup.

[@MarkForBuffalo]

If you can find it. Just got my first bottle for $80 after years of hunting.

[@chrischromek1593]

@markjohnson969 pretty available in Illinois at the moment was able to get 3 different barrels this month all at $65. Jewel Grocery Store and Malloys but sounds like need to go out n get anything while I still can

[@markcalhoun8219]

The Knob 7 is great and the Rye Barrel Picks at 120 are amazing. Hoping to snag a 10yr soon.

[@KennethRathburn]

Rye picks are 115 fwiw, but yeah, they're a great value now that they're closer to 8.5 years

[@markcalhoun8219]

​@@KennethRathburn yeah I was thinking they were the same as the bourbon but yeah 115.

[@Gehly]

Would like to see comparison of a 115 pick vs this new 10 year old

[@larryowens675]

My bottle is only 6 years old

[@KennethRathburn]

@@larryowens675 The more recent ones are over 8 years. Pre-2024 picks were in the 6 year range.

[@jimreichel1466]

Always down to earth and real. Thank you. Another rye for bourbon drinkers is Hard Truth High Road Rye. For $52 in central Texas it is a good buy, IMO.

[@ItsShatter]

It is a solid 7.5/10 for me. JD SBBP Rye is more around an 8.5/10 and around the same price point.

[@nschlueter13]

Notta, JD SBBP is dang near double the price of Knob Creek.

[@justinmassa6287]

happy to be first on Knob creek day. My favorite brand!

[@umami0247]

I will be getting it if I see it. I'm sure it will vary from batch to batch some what. The Russell single barrel rye is a very good pour. Knob creek is a favorite of mine and the single barrels are fantastic. And liver is very good and something other older generations appreciated.

[@DD-lf2ew]

I was the same. Though the 10yr was just a little thin and lacking. Wished it was higher proof like the single barrel ryes.

[@gdidieu]

Curious to try it and compare against Jack Daniels Single Barrel (and Barrel Proof) Rye

[@bserieshatch1]

Just got a Michter's barrel strength rye. Haven't opened it yet.

[@huntermcdougal5013]

Listening to on my way to work. Cheers slb!

[@Tranzekno]

I loved the 10yr. As a noob bourbon drinking dipping my toes into the rye world it had everything that I expect from a rye + more. Super solid bottle for the price. Would love to see it in one of your blinds 🙂

[@dustinpulliam9262]

Very excited for a cocktail video

[@xiamengbaby]

I really enjoy the New Riff 6 year malted rye.

[@larryowens675]

I agree, I’m working on my second bottle now

[@smikebacts]

Would love to see you guys do a blind of KC10 Rye, Bulliet 12 rye, Sagamore Double Oaked/Bonded, and Redwood Empire.

[@tonys4039]

Wilderness trail BP rye currently $51 locally. Just hard to beat at that price

[@TheRealOfficialGator]

Awhile ago there was a limited release double oaked rye. It was very very sweet, but it was a neat experience for sure

[@jasonczfan8658]

Sagamore double oaked is also a great bourbon drinkers rye. I am going to look for this KC 10 year one too.

[@d.ericlizza473]

I picked up a Pikesville on you recommendation, and I’m not disappointed.

[@J53119]

Should have done the BourbonxRye too!

[@jamesstreet1144]

I enjoy the 10 year. It does have a hint more mint than I prefer, but it’s very drinkable. I’m not sorry I bought it, but probably won’t replace it.

[@moguy1973]

The 10 year is great stuff. You guys need to find the Bourbon x Rye from Knob Creek they just came out with.

[@beaudwayful]

KC 7 yr is my goto available affordable rye. Their 115 proof version is also nice.

[@WhiskeyThief757]

Happy Belated Father’s Day to you Kurt! 🥃

[@gabrieltrujillo6133]

As a KC fan, I applaud your verdict on the 10 yr Rye. Hoping this catches on so it steadies any hype around this release. We don’t need to turn this into an allocated or heavily marked up ordeal. Saw them in Phoenix but went with a couple of bottles of Westward since I learned this will be a normal shelf offering… hopefully.

[@nschlueter13]

Do you have a top 5/10 flagship ryes to try? Really enjoying rye and would like some other ryes that are $40-45 and lower. Thanks in advance! Cheers!

[@dmcdougal241]

I'm about halfway through the video so maybe it gets addressed, but do you think this is a different mashbill than what goes into the Old Overholt 10 year? Or is proof/warehouse the only difference?

[@Shootsmith]

I too was gonna mention the Old Overholt 10yr Cask Strength as a comparison!

[@11onejay]

Alright boys. For the guys who have had the 7 yr barrel select and the 10 yr which one is the better buy? Ive had the regular 7 yr and love it. Just trying to find a new bourbon to experince.

[@larryowens675]

I recently bought a Single Barrel 115 proof KC rye but haven’t cracked it yet.

[@motohead077]

Hah, me too. But I haven't picked it up yet, bought it online among other bottles with 10% off. Got that & 2 other Brl Prf bottles for $45 each + tax.

[@muddymetalers]

Oh that Dirty rice recipe sounds amazing! I love liver. Great opening. I do like to try different ryes.

[@huntermcdougal5013]

Pretty sure the knob creek 7 rye and bourbon 9 yr did the age stated then non age stated back to age stated thing

[@xiamengbaby]

Knob Creek rye small batch was never age stated until the 7 just recently. Only the bourbon was age stated previously.

[@ediecervantes8008]

I have a bottle of Knob Creek 7 yr Rye at home. I really enjoy it. I am a “bourbon” drinker and have 4 bottles of 4 Ryes and all 4 are so different from each other…. But i like them all. I have a Bulleit Rye, Knob Creek 7 Rye, Angel’s Envy Rye and Blackened Rye.

[@jasonczfan8658]

Sagamore 8 year, JD barrel proof and Prideful Goat are banger ryes and a must have.

[@ediecervantes8008]

Been looking for any sagamore products!!! Not in this area.

[@matthewhenry6276]

I love the 7yr. My second bottle kill from last year actually. Was really looking forward to the 10yr but may go with one of your other recommendations for a rye around that price and age.

[@Minnesota7thst]

Just when i thought i wasnt going to want another bottle. Love knob creek ryes.

[@michaelwelsh9957]

I picked up one at Costco for 59.99 and think it’s a great pour.

[@jeffreyspencer4005]

Think the new "bottle fly by's" are great production touches, KC Ryes are always a great value!

[@WhiskyForBeginners]

Around here the 7 year rye is $38, and the 10 year is $68. 😱 It had better be the best rye on earth to be twice the price (almost) but only three years older. 9:02 Whenever I hear someone say "CAR-mel" I think of KC saying, on @BeautifulBourbon, saying, "Or CARE-a-mel, if you have a degree." 😂 Of course, in the South it's always CARE-a-mel. 🙂

[@mattd5762]

Trenton and Kurton the hype kings!

[@algordon4070]

All Rye, all the time! As I like heavily peated scotch, I think that is why I like Rye!

[@nickp5511]

Nice review! Happy Father’s Day! I enjoy my KC 7yr rye on occasion, but I’ll be skipping this one I think. I’ve got about 30 different rye’s and I really enjoy the Sagamore rye’s, Prideful Goat rye, Pikesville rye, Rare Breed Rye, RY3 rye’s, etc. and a little higher priced rye I like Jack Daniels Harvest rye, Thomas H Handy, and Very Old Saint Nick Harvest rye! Cheers!

[@excalibur7185]

The standard Knob Creek Rye is a great mixer.

[@johngilbert5981]

About a year ago my Costco had a single barrel of the rye cast strength and I think someone screwed up because they were selling it for like $26 cheaper than the regular 7 year

[@bmc2567]

Nice review. I do like the KC Rye for both sipping but also in an Old Fashion. 🥃 Glad to know about the 10yr. Will need to find some to sample before buying.

[@brettmchan2855]

So what happened to the besement window?!?!

[@borgcutus5780]

No a huge rye drinker, usually a Sagamore drinker for that. Would love to see a video on best ryes to use as mixers.

[@scottmarflake9613]

Zatarain's Dirty Rice is the bomb. And you get plenty left over to store in the freezer.

[@ryancarrk4345]

I have a Knob 115 proof Single Barrel Private Selected Noe distilled 10/6/14 barreled date, 3/26/20 selected date. I think I bought it a year ago.

[@imoffthegrid2158]

You should try the smooth ambler contradiction rye. It's 105 proof and non chill filtered. It's $39.99 at Binny's in Illinois.

[@xiamengbaby]

My wife took me to Binny's yesterday to get me a Father's Day gift. I walked out with a Bulleit 12 year for $60, but it comes with an $8 mfg rebate to knock it down to $52. I cracked that one open with a buddy when we got home, and I was quite impressed even despite the only 92 proof. The Binnys employee pointed out the stack of Alberta Premium cask strength that they have on sale for $29.99. I was like, holy crap, less than half price! I've got a mostly full bottle at home, but of course, I grabbed one any way. So, I left Binnys with two very good bottles for well under $100!

[@jeffreyspencer4005]

INSANE deal on Alberta Premium!!

[@motohead077]

You guys are in Indiana. How come you haven't had the Rossville Union 7yr Brl Prf 117.2P Straight Rye 2022 release on yet? Very curious to see how you think it compares to the RU batch you have. That new bottle is $44 at my local TW & lots of the country.

[@blythewilson357]

I checked my KC Rye from 2022 not age stated but indicates 6 years 1 month old so they must be aging a bit longer for the new age stated label bottle. Cheers!

[@xiamengbaby]

That must be a single barrel, not a small batch bottle.

[@xiamengbaby]

I recently picked up a Knob Creek Single Barrel that is nearly 8 ½ years.

[@dnett57]

Wish I could find the Pikesville. Been looking for months to score a bottle.

[@Anfwon]

The Bulliet 12 was great. Bubble gum nose that I never experienced before (also has up to 17 year MGP rye in it). Amazing for $50-55

[@RyanTucci12]

Would love to see a high west rendezvous rye in a bind heard good things!

[@trentsnider462]

Idk guys...my KC10 rye drinks really good for a 10 yr aged stated rye for 65 bucks. A step up from the 7 yr. Not as good as old overholt 10 but I'd put it ahead of Pikesville by a high margin.

[@Abby_Normal_1969]

I had to go back to my tasting notes and I realized that I missed something. The bottle of Knob Creek Rye that I got last year is not age-stated. Is the 7 year age statement a new product? Or perhaps it is just an updated label?

[@markcalhoun8219]

The non-age was from barrels likely ranging 4-6 years but their barrel stock aged sufficiently that they could issue it with a 7 year statement. I expect you will only see the 7 year going forward like knob 9.

[@GamerNxUSN]

That flavor was synthetic vanillin. A type of vanilla flavoring.

[@jeffnuzz]

Sipping Pikesville tonight, pretty nice. Liver on the smoker sounds interesting. You gotta try SPAM 😁 ...hit with some bbq sauce at the end.

[@paulrandall3020]

I live in Louisiana and I drink more tequila than bourbon/whiskey from May to September because of the heat!

[@DileepB]

Knob Creek 7 year Rye sells for $22 at my Costco! My older bottle does not have any age statement.

[@motohead077]

Is that in the 375mL bottle? Because at $22 for 750mL would be less than the 1.75L at $55, which is hard to find that low. So that would be very unusual.

[@brineshrimp8603]

They have the 7yr KC on sale in my local grocer for $14.99 Its a gift set that comes with a couple glasses also lol

[@curtboxley7678]

Old Overholdt 10 year rye is amazing

[@hockeyhalod]

It was a great Father's day! Sounds like yours was great as well!

[@burtronomaniac]

Trenton is so wierd he won’t eat a hamburger but he likes mushrooms which is a fungus 😂😂😂

[@motohead077]

For people looking for best value; The 7yr is $55-60 for 1.75L. That makes the 10yr almost 3Xs the price.

[@chadyoung2894]

10 Year Knob Rye isn't worth 69. Go with the Jack Daniels Single Barrel Proof Rye instead.

[@efex604]

They got the bourye version coming out as well lol

[@uwrossl]

This describes the last couple of Knob 12years that I've bought. Oak is dominant and any other flavors seem watered down and suppressed. Knob Creek SBs are the only thing I like from them lately.

[@josesanchez5920]

There is a KC Rye single barrel at 115proof

[@goodbyegalaxy]

I find most KC rye tastes a bit "watered down" at 100 proof. Found the same thing with their Twice Barreled Rye.

[@applecrow8]

Considering how good both the Knob Creek 7 Rye at 35-40 and the Knob Creek 12 bourbon at the same price are, then yeah this is a pretty dissapointing bottle which isn't to say its not bad, its just not up to the snuff of the rest of the KC line.

[@stevenbrown5613]

I like the new panoramic shots of the bottles, but please don't cut away from our seeing your first sip. Trenton's face always shows how much he likes a bourbon, and I hate to miss his reaction. :)

[@durzagon88]

I really like knob 10 for 55 dollars. It was so much then Bulleit 12.

[@shoot2thrillp2k]

It's bugging me that the labels aren't on the same level.

[@nschlueter13]

I believe the NAS rye was 4-6 years.

[@CSAN]

Nice to switch back to closing with “Trenton and I” instead of “Trenton and me” 😂 Great review. Did the basement window have a crack?

[@davidteller7681]

Yep, good he's gone back to being grammatically incorrect 😁

[@buckbryant8599]

I can dig the 7 year rye

[@jondilly1974]

Would like to see the KC10R blinded against the JDTBR as they both are about the same proof. The JDTBR is an oak bomb for me and sounds similar to the KC10R.

[@davefabian2942]

[@Hoosierallocations]

im in Indiana and i cant find the 10 year rye

[@smikebacts]

I was v😢onfused by thr KC10 release being 100 proof. I thought it would make more sense if it was 115 or 120 proof. A small batch shelf staple version of their single barrel Rye would have made more sense in the line up. Im hoping their upcoming Burrye release can add more value.

[@smikebacts]

To take it step further. I think KC missed an opportunity to better compete with JD Single Barrel Barrel Proof Rye. I don't see myself ever getting the KC10 over that.

[@haroldjohnson2041]
