Damn, a seven-bottle comparison video! You keep exceeding all expectations, Bill. Bravo! Now be honest...did you need assistance getting up from that chair? Lol. I'm so glad you loved the KC10. If they dont screw things up by making this batchy, it will be in my top 2 rye shelfers along with Sagamore. It is just perfect for my palate and fairly priced. Cheers.

Haha Rita was in bed I had to make do on my own lol. And yeah KC12 can be batch dependent so I’m hoping they do better with these

Looking forward to trying the 10-year! Thank you for the review. I have the 2010 Cask Strength at 127 proof that takes the 2009 release up a couple notches in deeper, richer flavor. I have been waiting to find a 2011 release but have not seen one yet.

Yeah I was surprised I enjoyed the 10yr over the 2018 cask (2008) I didn’t know they did more than two of those ever cool to know

I bought 3 bottles of B12 for $50 apiece. A phenomenal buy. I also bought a KC 10 year rye for $65. IMO, the B12 is the best overall value between the 2, but KC10R is a buy all day. That said, Little Book 8 is the best heavy rye Whiskey I’ve had this year. It’s a masterclass in blending. JDBPR is excellent, but it cheats on flavor with high octane proof. JD SiB Rye 94 proof doesn’t stand up when you compare apples to apples. I’d like to see a 107 proof JD 10 year rye release. That would be a great idea for a special release. I had a shot at Triumph for $275, but I couldn’t do it. I’ve got to take a stand on Campari’s fleecing. I am actively hunting for a M10 rye at retail. Anyway, excellent review. Thank you!

Definitely agree with you on that heck of a buy on the Bulleit 12yr. I haven’t tried the little book 8 yet but I’ve been hearing good things. And yeah I’m not touching masters keep this year screw them and their pricing it’s outrageous

The 10 is great and will always be on my shelf. But that Old Overholt 10 year is amazing. Curious how the hughes belle of bedford 10 year compares.

@@bourbonbill hey buddy!! I’ve been way too busy for bourbon tube. 2024 has also seemed pretty lame for whiskey so far. This is one of the few products I have been interested in. Sounds like a banger. I’m really getting tired of the whole limited edition thing, but a 10 year old shelfer at a reasonable price?? Heck yes.

My initial pour of the Knob Creek 10 was a tad too minty for me. Luckily, that subsided and it was very good. I had one Jack Daniels store pick rye that I didn’t care for. It tasted like mint whiskey. I had to ask who picked it and was told Jack Daniel’s picked it for them. They should never let that happen.

@bourbonbill 2 ай бұрын

That’s interesting I generally don’t get minty on ryes but the ones I avoid are the dill forward ones those are not my jam. And that’s very odd for JD especially since they usually go darker and sweeter on their profiles

Glad you liked it BB. I really like the new Knob Creek Bourye. Vanilla, Caramel, Peanut Butter with a smooth, peppery finish. It is very good at 113 Proof. 🥃

BB, Have you had or done a review of the Rossville Union 7yr Brl Prf Rye 117.2P, released in 2022? It's at my local TW at $44 + tax. This is clearly a rye, but not a full blown 95%. Wonder what you would think of that.

@@bourbonbill Yes, it's an ID Rye, Ross & Squibb as printed on the label. Was just asking because I have not tasted much, if any, of the whiskeys you did here, but I do have that & Rare Breed Rye. So wanted to hear the opinion of someone who has had all of them... Did buy a bottle of KC Rye 115P Store pick 8-9yr from floor 4 for $45 + tax. Have not tried it yet. I'm hoping it's as good, or close to, Knob Creek 10 year

@@motohead077I’m not sure how that store pick would be of the KC rye but the 10 seems a little special it wasn’t that close between it and the limited cask strength rye from 2018 that was 9yrs old. flavor profiles differed more than I expected the KC10 is oak heavy for sure
