Knob Creek Straight Rye Whiskey

While visiting my favorite Marriott in Salt Lake City, which by the way has the best Goat Cheese and Fig Appetizer, I was able to try this interesting Rye Whiskey. 

Nose: Smells sweet, almost too sweet for a Rye Whiskey.  (Wondering if the goat cheese fig app, played a part in that). 

Taste:  Bit of spice in the beginning and black licorice in flavor towards the middle.  The finish is sweet and savory.  Definitely has a full rye flavor and mellows out nicely.  I find that it is a great sipping whiskey and a great rye to mix in your Old Fashion or other Rye Whiskey cocktails.
