Blaum Bros. OldFangled Knotter Bourbon 12 Year

Nose is medicinal but flavor is outstandingly complex and has multiple notes of corn, peanut, caramel and vanilla. Great lasting finish. Overall great bourbon.

My least favorite of the bunch. Not bad, but not amazing.

Blaum Oldfangled 12 is delicious. I have a 117 proof and I know they now have 105 proof, so this review will vary from later releases. It's a butterscotch bomb in a glass - starts out spicy and hot, but in a similar way to a really good GTS where the heat adds complexity and flavor and is a welcome addition. The profile is heavy vanilla and butter, with caramel. It's the best bourbon I've ever had.

Thick and rich. Vanilla, caramel, baking spices

Nose: sweet, somewhat honey like Taste:coats the tongue well. Spice, apple/pear Finish: long

Taste: 2 oz. neat in glen cairn. 105.7 proof, 12 yr 2019 Fall release Nose (4.7) caramel corn, bit-o-honey, and peanut brittle. I could nose this for days. Palate: (4.75) True caramel bomb with pecans and a bit of spice. Reminds me of Fanny May Turtles with alcohol and just a hint of pepper. Nice and coating. It is what a grear bourbon should be. Finish (4.75): Slightest of burn. Does not at all resemble a higher proof in that department. Follows through with some honey and a hint of what is almost raspberry fruit. Only regret is that it could have been longer. Don't blame the bourbon that is me just not wanting it to end. Overall: Was really debating the hype. After all, this is a sourced distillate and very admittedly is "not our bourbon" when it comes to the distiller's claim. But it IS an incredibly well aged, 12 yr old MGP cask bourbon with all the right moves. It is everything you want in a classic bourbon- bold caramels and vanilla, some fruits, spice, oak, and pecan nuttiness. Worth the hype? Glad I have it in my collection
