Tastes

This one might be a little underrated. Most of the comments I see fall somewhere along the lines of “good beginner Scotch” or “inoffensive.” This offers way more than that. It has a gorgeous, creamy mouthfeel and a a delicious flavor of honey, orange, and a little vanilla. I really love this one. It’s available everywhere, it’s affordable, and you should definitely try it.

The malt flavor nicely balances out the sweetness from the port. I love the strong chocolate note on the finish.

Complex yet balanced, with some spice showing up among the rich fruits and raisins. Delicious.

It’s been a while since I’ve had Knob Creek and I’m glad I came back to it, especially now with the 9 year age statement. This is a deep, rich bourbon with a beautiful nose of vanilla and oak and a rich mouthfeel. I’m tasting a ton of brown sugar and a pleasing but not overwhelming alcohol burn. I would really recommend this one, especially for the price and availability.

One of my very favorite bourbons. The spice and chocolate notes come through but there is still a bit of classic bourbon sweetness to balance it all out. This one really opens up with a small splash of water.

Delicious. Intense berry flavors with a nice, long finish
