Knob Creek 18 Year Bourbon 30th Anniversary (2022 Release)

I don't usually leave reviews, but when I saw the low rating expert review here I had to comment. I have at least 200 bottles of bourbon in my collection and this is one of my favorites. I savor every sip as I know I will never be able to get it again. This bourbon should be rated 92 or higher.

Sample from MN whiskey tasting #2. Excellent. I got a bottle. One of my favorites of the night.

Been open 8 months Nose: cherry, cinnamon and oak, sweet vanilla Palette: licorice up front with cinnamon and nutmeg. Herbal and smooth, not sweet, baking spices typical of KC, dry and oaky finish with a slight kick.

Had a pour at a great whiskey bar in Kentucky. Good traditional Knob Creek flavor. The coconut note was a great little twist and I enjoyed the amount of oak and expectations were high being 18 years old. Finish is impressive. If it was higher proof this would be top tier!

Nice nose but muted Palate nothing grabs me Finish long This is not for me Nothing shines
