Tastes

Opened Dec 31, 2018 2 hours since last meal Knob Creek 120 as control Color: Dark copper Nose: Ballpark peanuts, peanut butter, leather, butter popcorn Taste: Cream soda , spice at onset, quickly turns to velvet. Rice crispies with lots of sugar. Nutty and spice all around mouth. Finish: Longer as expected with 114.3 proof. Feels like I just had a spoon of peanut butter. Value: Worth up to $55 if you never had it and want to try it. I would be more inclined at $45 or lower.

10/17/18: no food or other tasting influences. Used Glencairn glass. Color: Light & Golden Viscosity: Fast legs close together Nose: (opened up for I hour) - light, floral, easy on the oak, sweet, simple single note Palatte: Initial spice leads to easy and soft, not complex at all Finish: Short and to the point. Overall: A good bourbon for a beginner who does not have a lot of tolerance for spice or alcohol burn. Not a strong fan but we're not turn it down either. Prefer something more complex.

Light and perfume nose. Easy to drink with sweet front taste and spicy finish.

Paid $60 a few years back. Still not sealed as waiting to be an empty nester and using this bottle to mark the occasion.

Nice and sweet. Velvet touch. Nose: Brown sugar, maple, light oak Palette: Brown sugar with a light bite Finish: Short but complete. Tells a whole story. Value: Low $30's tops to be paid

To much going on. Not comfortable in it's own skin. Nose: Leather Palette: Overly complex Finish: Short and left more to be desired

This has become my daily drinker. I find it complex enough to keep my interest with a price that is easier to swallow. I am always looking for something to unseat and welcome suggestions. Most be readily available and $30 or less.
