Schade, dass er nur in den USA offiziell erhältlich sein wird, denn der neue Knob Creek 10yo Rye klingt durch seine Herkunft (die Marke ist eine quasi “Craft”-Marke von Suntory Global Spirits, ehemals Beam Suntory), seinen Master Distiller (Freddie Noe) und sein Alter recht interessant.
Vielleicht als kleine Inspiration für einen Einkauf auf einer USA-Reise hier die offizielle Presseinfo dazu:
