Knob Creek 12 Year Cask Strength Bourbon

I have seen this release at 120.5 proof and 124.3 proof and I've only had the latter of the two. That said, this is perfect. I'm not sure how this release just absolutely few under the radar. There's only 4 reviews here at the time of my review. At roughly the same price point, Knob Creek 15 doesn't hold a candle to this. I'm glad I was able to find a couple more of these with a light coat of dust several months after my first purchase.

Neck pour, neat. Dark cherry and a hint of vanilla, not proofy at all. Silky mouthfeel. Taste of cinnamon and some ginger and orange pith. Warm, medium length finish of spice and nuttiness. Very balanced, but rounds out nicely with a drop of water. Very enjoyable sipper.
