Mixologist Alyssa McGrath shares another of her fantastic inventions with us, the Kentuck Knob.
It’s a combination of her love for Western PA and Old Overholt’s locally made rye, as well as her love of the versatility of Italian digestivos! You will enjoy the floral element of Montenegro mixing with the spicy nature of the rye.
What is Kentuck Knob?
Kentuck Knob is a stunning example of organic architecture by the legendary American architect Frank Lloyd Wright. This house comes from 1956, in a unique Usonian-style. Its location nestles into the side of a hill in the Laurel Highlands of Pennsylvania. The house is characterized by its hexagonal shape, use of local stone and wood, and a seamless integration with its natural surroundings.
