That is where they should be. Either you put them away….or you drink them…otherwise you’re a liquor store! Actually, I would partially fall into that category…never mind, go pour yourself a bourbon and be well!

Bourbon was created to be enjoyed. I don't collect. But I do have some bottles that are for special occasions.
Had a sip of this stuff last night. Bought a bottle while on vacation to Pennsylvania.
Bought it from Conneaut Cellars Winery and Distillery. Normally you can sample the wine and spirits but since this one is a limited edition, I had to purchase taste...untasted. Evidently this is a recipe and method that goes back to 1860 and hasn't been made since prohibition era. I wouldn't call this Rye exactly smooth...but it's not overly bitty either. I would deem this a "spicy" rye as opposed to the sweet variety that most of us are used to these days. Honestly, I am not sure I have tasted a rye whiskey quite like this one. It's good...It's real good...but it goes down hot!
A little about the whiskey from the maker...
We start with the grains: locally grown rye and barley. That’s it – no corn or wheat. We use those grains and fresh yeast to make a sweet mash. It’s a bit more challenging than using the traditional sour mash, demanding more effort and attention. We think it’s worth it.
The results are extraordinary. You’ll find aromas of walnut bread and blackjack sugar – the scent of the scorched caramel crust on a creme brulee. Take a sip, and you’ll get the flavors of rye bread, vanilla, caramel, and oak, all underlined with a nutty smokiness. Upfront, there’s a hint of cinnamon; at the finish, you’ll get a bit of tangerine. Meadville Rye is big and complex, a whiskey to be savored.

This is real Pennsylvania rye, the way it was made when rye was the most popular whiskey in America, and Pennsylvania ryes ruled them all.We start with the grains: locally grown rye and barley.

I did. It’s good. But I wouldn’t make a special trip for it. The two best things I’ve tasted from them is their spiced rum and their amaretto (not on the website). Yes you read that right. Their amaretto is amazing. Unlike anything I have tasted before. I’ll bust out the bottle and do a review later.

This one is on my list to get, how do you like it?
This is my second bottle ever of Knob Creek. My last bottle was a couple years ago when it didn't have 9 year age statement. I'm really enjoying it. This was my review I put up today on Distiller App:
Haven't watched this yet, but thought you might be interested.Nightcap of Woodford Double Oaked…and savoring every sip
