The nose of Knobel Tennessee Straight Rye Whiskey entwines the senses with a captivating dance of powerful and intense aromas. The nose is bright, fresh, and filled with a confident presence of spices.

Upon the first sip, the palate is set ablaze with a robust and full-bodied experience. The dominant rye grain character takes center stage delivering a strong and bold flavor profile of stone fruit that dances across the tongue. The flickering notes of spicy black pepper and hearty baking spices like vanilla and cardamon add depth and complexity, creating an irresistible chemistry.

Amidst the intensity of the spice, this Rye Whiskey reveals its softer side, offering a smooth and creamy mouthfeel. The texture is velvety, with a pleasant weight on the tongue. Finishing with delicate undertones of orange peel, cocoa, cherries and caramel, Knobel Tennessee Straight Rye Whiskey offers notes of richness enhancing the whiskey’s bold character and complexity. Each sip is certain to leave an impression.

Knobel Tennessee Whiskey = $100

Each bottle is made using the finest ingredients from local farmers in Tennessee. Immediately after distilling, this whiskey is charcoal-filtered, commonly known as the Lincoln County Process, and aged for approximately five years in hand-toasted, new American oak barrels.

Bottled at 45% Alc./Vol. / 90 Proof, it makes an exceptional bourbon by all measures.

TASTING NOTES:

TASTING NOTES:

The Rickhouse Edition’s complex and smooth profile of warm spices opens with sweet notes of meringue, marmalade, orange rind and caramel. The corn plays nicely against the spice of the French oak and the vanilla coming from the American white oak. Each sip, reminiscent of fall baking spices, custardy and fall deserts with apple pie, toasty pie crust and almond flavors appearing towards the end. It finishes with a hint of lingering cloves and cinnamon on top of a banana bread and panna cotta dessert. It’s a unique spirit that you will want to share with your best friends.

Mikes Private Select Single Barrel Edition = $200

Only available and made exclusively for our event. 

** Extremely limited amount of these tickets available

Mike’s Private Select Single Barrel Edition is a celebration of the time-honored tradition of true whiskey making. From the careful selection of the locally grown grains to the charred oak barrels in which Knobel Tennessee Whiskey ages, every step of the process is executed with meticulous attention to detail.

Single barrel bourbon represents the pinnacle of whiskey craftsmanship. Unlike blended bourbons, which combine the contents of multiple barrels, single barrel bourbons are drawn from a single, carefully selected cask. This means that each bottle from a single barrel offers a unique and unrepeatable flavor profile, shaped by the distinct characteristics of that specific barrel. The magic of single barrel bourbon lies in its individuality. Each barrel develops its own personality during the aging process, influenced by factors such as the location of the barrel in the rickhouse, the climate, and the natural variations in the wood. The result is a bourbon that is rich in complexity, with a depth of flavor that reflects the singular journey of that particular barrel. Selecting the right barrel plays a crucial role in this process, using an expert palate to sample and evaluate each barrel, seeking out those rare casks that embody the essence of Knobel Tennessee Whiskey.

TASTING NOTES:

What can you expect from our Knobel Single Barrel Edition? Prepare to embark on a sensory journey that begins with the first pour. The aroma is inviting, with notes of vanilla, caramel, honey and toasted oak, intermingled with subtle hints of spice and dried fruit. On the palate, the bourbon is bold yet balanced, with flavors of sugar cookies, ginger, fall spices and a touch of smokiness. The finish is long and warming, leaving a lasting impression that lingers long after the last sip.

Because each barrel is unique, no two bottles will be exactly alike. This means that with every pour, you are experiencing a one-of-a-kind expression of our bourbon, making it a truly special addition to any collection. Depending on the actual barrel chosen, the age of each barrel as well as the final proof of each release will differ.
