Knob Creek 25th Anniversary Single Barrel Reserve

Neat. Bottle I have is 13 years old. The color is a gorgeous dark amber. Lots of layers on the nose. Heavy vanilla and spice. Spice isn’t a cinnamon, more like an all spice. Lots of floral notes. It’s really really good. It’s a nice light mouth feel. Char sugars initially but on the swallow it transitions to a symphony of dark and high flavor notes. Starts as a chocolate, then comes the spice, then the vanilla bomb. Those flavors will last in the mouth for as long as they are allowed. This is some amazing stuff.

Wonderful. Flavorful. Clearly better than other bourbons. Enjoyed with dear friends. What a night.
