Knob Creek Single Barrel Reserve (Total Wine & More)

Nose gives orange, brown sugar, baking spices, vanilla, char, mint, leather. Awesome. Smoky oak, vanilla, cinnamon, maple syrup on the palate. Spicy and pretty hot due to the proof, but a cube tames it a bit. Excellent.

This is a hot one, better with ice

Spice, fruit and gasoline. Half kidding on the gasoline. This is a bottle I have had for a bit and it was about half gone. I don’t recall it being this burny when I drank it before. Looks like the picture, nothing on it to denote Total Wines, however that’s what we have in this area compared to the others I see posted. Probably the same stuff given to stores in different regions. Burn on the nose, burn on the swallow. Not impressed today.
