Knob Creek Crash Wagon vs. Woodford Reserve Hey You Ryes from DFW Whiskey Club

The battle of two ryes. First a Knob Creek rye pick and second, a Woodford Reserve rye pick.

Part 2 of the DFWWC rye showdown features two old picks from DFWWC and Angel's liquor.

Let the battle begin.

Crash wagon

N(7 ) Pears, green apples, dark sugar, raisins, natatorium, herbs, nail polish, and apricots.

P(9 ) Deep dark fruits; raisins, plums, and apricot.

F(8 ) Finishes dry with oak, plum, and cherry.

O: (24) You have no choice but to enjoy it. It's very clearly, in your face, good!

Hey You Ryes

N(6 ) Mild nose. Sweet some fruit, vanilla, sassafras. Delicate nail polish tone.

P(6 ) Thin mouth feel and very easy to drink. Apples and baked confectionery.

F(6 ) Pears that intensify into apple and then to stone fruit. Fades into mint.

O(18 ) This is good but nuanced. It can go over many drinkers heads and takes an experienced palate to get all the enjoyment out of it.
