Knob Creek Limited Edition 2001

I had the last pour of this bottle. It was pretty sweet with some vanilla.

TIP / ALTERNATIVE: Go for the higher 120 proof 13yo Single Barrel instead for just $40. At $40, it was a much better deal and arguable the better bourbon, with the higher proof of the Knob Creek Single Barrel *SELECT* (selected by Liquor Mart Whittier in my case) which was selected from one of the 13yo barrels, as many of the barrel select versions are, clocking in at just 1 year under the 14yo Knob Creek 2001, while retaining the higher 120 instead of 100 proof, and being Single Barrel instead of Small Batch like the 2001! At times I even prefer it over my all-time-favorite Booker's Bluegrass, when both brought down to around the same proof with a few drops of Kentucky Limestone water. Knob Select can be found at quite a few places via 1000Corks.com, but just be sure to call to confirm the barrel age if not stated on the website.

This may be the definition of a bourbon. It offers the vanilla & caramel combined with wonderful smoothness. There's just nothing not to love about this except maybe the price
