Knob Creek 12 Year Small Batch Bourbon

Sweet, carmel, and oak immediately on the nose. Deeper smell gives a balance of pepper, and a corn, strong alcohol scent. A little green on the nose coriander and baking spices. Very slight hazelnut and vanilla and faintest orange. On the tongue it’s lighter than expected, not a full mouth feel. Tingle on the tongue demonstrates heat. It’s pretty muted with more beginning and middle and less ending strength. Get corn and sweet and spicy on the tongue. Taste a little creamy, nutty flavor and a hint vanilla and a small spritz of orange. Also, the slightest bit of cola. Kinda boring, not bad, but not exciting in any way. Feels young, but also slightly under proofed for my liking.

Nose: rich and thick. Some vanilla and spice, but nothing overpowering. Palette: some wood notes and a pleasant and sustained bitterness. The word that comes to mind is “wide”… it just feels very oily and rich. Definitely spicy to rival some Ryes. Finish: really great long and consistent finish. Same wood and dark fruit notes (maybe)… it taste like the difference between a bright red maraschino cherry and a luxardo cherry… just more subtle, bitter and full.

Nose - Sweet oak, peanut brittle, an unglazed cinnamon roll that has been sitting around for a day or so because you passed it by for more whiksey. Palate - Pecans and hazelnuts, dang kids siphoned off all the cashews out of the mixed nut tin. The nuttiness leads into Barqs Root beer, imitation vanilla, & Werthers. Finish - Being that it’s got some age it does have some woodsy notes that lie around here. I could see someone saying it has a Bourbon & Coke flavor that lingers

Really nice oak, vanilla and citrus. Coats the mouth well with a long finish. Feels higher than 100 proof.

Nose hazelnut glazed doughnut. Not sure if that's a thing but it's what I smell and I like it. Initially some chalky candy, vanilla, a little bitter but not in a bad way. The oakiness comes in late and it finishes a bit hot. Overall pretty solid.

Cinnamon, Apples & Vanilla. Not cheap but worth it!
