Ever since the U.S. launch of its straight rye whiskey in 2012, Knob Creek has become perhaps as known for rye as it has bourbon. Knob Creek Straight Rye Whiskey has since garnered notable awards and accolades (e.g., 2016 International Wine and Spirits Competition “Best Rye Worldwide Whiskey”), with a cask strength edition released earlier in 2018. The latter nabbed an award from the San Francisco World Spirits Competition (2018 Best in Class Medal for Rye) – receiving the honor prior to its official release for public sale.
