Knob Creek 12 Year Small Batch Bourbon

Sweet and easy. Very nice sipper

Vanilla, peanut and molasses with a nice lingering finish

Nose: nice and full scent of peanuts, brown sugar, and caramel candies. All nicely balanced Palate: Not as good as the nose. Nice refined mouth feel with no bite. The finish tapers off with no exciting flavor

Smells like aging barrels. Oaky and funky with a long finish for the proof. Good. But I don’t think it is worth the price when you can a single barrel for less money, more age, and more proof.

This is a great pour!

Bottle has been open for a few weeks and the profile seems to have changed a bit. The honey, subtle oak (despite being so prominent in the nose), raisin and odd mineral note that make certain ECBP, Remus Reserve and GTS so special for be is there as well. There is a nod toward the 9yr age statement Mexican fried ice cream-cinnamon bomb but it comes toward the finish. Definitely an easier sipper than the 120 proof, there’s never much burn to speak of. Worth the $20 premium over 9yr statement but would likely still take a comparable age in a barrel pick instead and save a few dollars. On the plus side it’s widely available - but then again so is bookers which gives a longer finish and richer mouthfeel. Regardless, this is dang good and I regret nothing.

Knob Creek 12 year was originally a limited edition, but due to popularity it has been added to the Knob Creek line. Its age statement is not seen on many bourbons now-a-days and is something to cherish. This 12 year single barrel is nothing but consistent and of the upmost quality for a less than premium price. Bottled at 100 proof/50%ABV, this bourbon is matured for 12 long years in KY by Jim Beam. The mashbill consists of 75% Corn, 13% Rye, and 12% Malted Barley. Knob Creek 12 year continues to surprise me and deliver on quality bourbon. For its price, this is an amazing bourbon that can be enjoyed time and time again. Color: Brown Sugar Gold On the nose are rich aromas of fresh brownies, brown sugar, butter, vanilla, all spice, and cookie dough. The palate is just a tad bit too spicy with hints of rye spice, dark chocolate, biscuits, charred oak, and cloves. The finish is long and warming within some lingering spices and slight hints of leather and oak.
