Knob Creek 15 Year Bourbon (2021 Release)

Quite good, but not amazing (especially at price point. Spicy and a little hot for the proof. Year unknown

Nose: oily old oak off the bat. Fatty, oxidized vanilla deeper into it with some notes of honey, sherry, rum, and a bit of apricot. Slight rye spice buried in there. Pallet: that the spice surprisingly shows on the front of the pallet - kind of bright for a 15yr. Then nose dives straight off the cliff, down into a fatty almond vanilla oak sherry mid. Average finish - a sweet oak hangs for a bit with tinges of all the favors before. 7.2

Not as full and creamy as I expected; sharp flavor profile with traditional bourbon notes; more wood oak than caramel, cinnamin, vanilla etc. Heavy rye spice on swallow. Overall, solid but doesnt leave me wanting to explore more with each taste.
