Tastes

Knob Creek is average, but sometimes average is what you are looking for. I taste some vanilla and oak and the finish leaves a slight burn. Solid overall.

My favorite bourbon that I’ve tried in my short time in the bourbon tasting world. The nose is amazing with tons of vanilla and cinnamon. I think the nose beats the taste on this one. OWA has a thick mouthfeel with a cinnamon burn on the back end. But it’s a good, warming burn. Smooth for a slightly higher proof.

I didn’t like the single barrel at first but it is growing on me. The floral notes are pronounced and I had to get used to the higher rye content. It is definitely a high quality bourbon. I might need to try a barrel strength from a different strain and mash bill.

The regular BT is great for mixers and one can drink it neat as well. This is a sweeter bourbon with a short finish and minimal complexity. Good entry level bourbon.

One of the best values in the bourbon world. $49 dollars for a bourbon that beats many double it’s price. The corn note on the first sip is unique and welcome. Then you taste the tobacco strong and heavy with the lighter vanilla and spice notes. The finish is long and satisfying. Well done!

Loving the Single Barrel store pick much better than the regular.
