Knob Creek 9 Year Small Batch Bourbon

Nose is a hint of leather, then a vanilla bomb. Has some sweet undernotes as well. Palate very oily that covers your whole mouth. Sweet fruit notes to start, I detect pear and bold apple. Finish is where some of the oak comes out with great long lasting sweet vanilla. Hits way above it's price point. Delicious

While I generally find the 9 year single barrel reserve 120 proof to be worth the leap in price, there is no arguing with the supreme value of the standard 9.

I really enjoy the peanut and pepper combo on this bourbon, which blend nice with vanilla, caramel, and nutmeg
