Cost
The folks at Blaum Bros in Galena, Illinois make no bones about telling their customers that their Knotter Bourbon is sourced in Indiana and selected from a series of small barrels that were maturing without climate control. While they are distilling their own for the future, this sourced whiskey is a temporary stand-in.

Tasting Notes
"While the Knotter starts astringent, it mellows quickly into a lovely milk chocolatey cherry note. Complimenting that is a fresh floral bouquet. The cherry returns in the form of fruit leather on the palate. While this isn't oily or thick, it's definitely chewy and full while remaining milder and smoother than the nose suggested."
