Knob Creek 9 Year Small Batch Bourbon

It’s been a while since I’ve had Knob Creek and I’m glad I came back to it, especially now with the 9 year age statement. This is a deep, rich bourbon with a beautiful nose of vanilla and oak and a rich mouthfeel. I’m tasting a ton of brown sugar and a pleasing but not overwhelming alcohol burn. I would really recommend this one, especially for the price and availability.

A good, sturdy bourbon. It’s not the first I’d grab as a sipper, but I don’t MIND it as a sipper. It’s great in cocktails too. A good, well-rounded workhorse of a bourbon. Nose: vanilla, wood, and leather. First sip: wood with some coffee bitterness, burnt caramel and peanut. Black pepper and cinnamon on the end. Medium finish where the peanut reveals itself even more. With water: Sweeter. The burnt caramel becomes a truer confectionary caramel with a touch of citrus. The coffee becomes sweet tea. It definitely cuts the bitterness. Peanut brittle is the overwhelming tasting note. After drinking it a few times, I find that it’s one I pour when I don’t want to reach for my more expensive/hard to find bourbons, but need something enjoyable and easy. The more I drink it, the more I enjoy those peanut notes. I would buy it again!

3.8 향 고소하다 포로지스 싱배가 좀 꽃+체리향 같았다면 이건 체리향이 좀 약하고 견과류 스럽다 맛 바닐라가 생각보다 강하지는 않다 좀 지나니깐 체리향 팡팡 터지고 견과류맛이 좀 줄어든 느낌 와턱이랑 도수는 비슷할 텐데 훨씬 자극이 덜하고 편한 버번이라는 생각이 들었다
