i was recently given a bottle of knob creek rye. as you can imagine, i was quite excited! in my journey of trying different rye whiskies, this was my first knob creek experience.
let’s start out with the bottle design. it’s sort of a classic meets modern style with cool big block letters on the label. the bottle features a cork cap and pours very nicely out of the narrow curved glass. i have to say i definitely did not like the wax sealing on the cap though. it looks classy while sealed, however just becomes clunky after opening. all in all, i give them high grades on the design.
knob creek rye is 100 proof, so it’s nice and strong like rittenhouse. it’s on the darker side and is both spicy and smooth. although it does have a bite, it’s still tasty over the rocks.
the only downside to knob creek it it’s price. it is a good $10-$15 more per bottle than rittenhouse, redemption and bulleit. so as much as i liked it, i don’t know if i will grab it again except for special occasions.

papa and grey also had a blast at the stormtrooper parade at dragon con 2014! we planned way better this year and brought lawn chairs and arrived early to pick our spot. we also chose the shady side of the street, last year we were incredibly hot on the sunny side.

rittenhouse has a new label design for its straight rye whiskey. the design is more modern and gives the bottle a classier feel. it still has a screw top, however the new look is definitely more pleasing to look at sitting on your liquor shelf! compare it to the old design.
rittenhouse has earned the double gold medal at the san francisco world spirits competition and was also named the best north american whisky by whisky magazine. not too shabby for a rye you can find for around $20!
did i mention it’s great in an old fashioned?

our little birds at the atlanta zoo this morning! on a side note, did you know as a georgia resident, you are able to get a family of four into the zoo for free once a year? all you have to do is visit a georgia public library and check out the zoo pass dvd. upon returning the dvd, you receive a pass that can get two adults and two children (kids under 3 are already free) into the zoo! this was our second time taking advantage of this great offer! it’s super easy and well worth the effort.
more details can be found here!

i enjoyed some old fashioned cocktails this evening! i would say it came from the combination of being on both a rye whiskey kick on top of a mad men kick!
for those interested, i went with bulleit rye and angostura bitters.

1 tsp sugar or 2 sugar cubes
2-4 dashes angostura bitters
2 oz rye whiskey
1 large ice cube or ice cubes

• pour in rye and stir
