I'm about to take a trip to the liquor store

They seem to work nicely too.

Rare Breed vs Knob Creek:
Drier, less obvious corn and almost none of that acetone note, not as fruity, leather, slight tannins (guess: less heavily charred barrels), bittersweet finish like dark honey.

Overall it's just as strong but more elegant (obvious Western analogy: less John Wayne, more Lee Van Cleef).
Both are still quite similar though, I think I could recognize them in a blind a/b test but if somebody gave me just one to taste and asked me which one it is it might be difficult.
