Knob Creek 12 Year Small Batch Bourbon

Pretty good overall, typical Knob Creek flavor just a little less bite on it. Still prefer 9-15yr store picks over this one for the price.

Vanilla, brown sugar and oak come through on the nose, especially opening up after the first sip. Nice tingle on the palate with barrel influences that remind me that it’s a 12-year-old. The oaky flavors continue through to a medium finish that bring a lingering warmth to the gut. Overall, I can definitely appreciate this one, but I’m learning that I prefer less oak, maybe younger bourbons.
