Knob Creek Single Barrel Select Bourbon

On the nose I get peanut brittle, oak, brown sugar, and hints of dark chocolate, and leather. On the palette some brown sugar and candy sweetness, then spice builds clove, cinnamon, and pepper cover the tongue. It finishes with tons of oak, and barrel char, and more pepper. This one is more spicy then sweet, and gives you a nice hug, not quite as good as the other pick I had. I guess 1 year more makes a noticeable difference. FWGS store pick from warehouse X aged 9 years 9 months and 24 days.

Had the Batch tucson spring 2022 warehouse 1 pick Nose oak, vanilla plums a little heat Taste: smooth but the poof is there. Caramel corn, creamy, oak got a little spice on the rich finish

Smooth as hell for 120 proof! Pleasant nose, sweet like brown sugar and honey. Palette has a cinnamon spice that builds through the finish. Very woody finish, heavy in oils. My girlfriend (who hates whisky) actually liked this one, despite it being 60% alcohol… let that be a testament to how smooth this bottle is. This will do great at a party.

WI total wine store pick. Q-04-05. Oak, vanilla, caramel and spice in the nose. Oaky with notes of clove, butter cookie, and rye

Probably my absolute favorite bourbon.

Bottle kill quickie: Nose is caramel, oak, lemon, sugar. This is as knob creekish as you can get, although I can’t detect the high ABV. Body is sweet tea. Heat pops in here. Hot damn. There’s sugar, lemon. The sweet tea is the main note though. Finish is cinnamon, spices. Mild tobacco. On ice, I can get more of the leathery notes I often associate with knob creek. Other than that, just a less hot version. This ain’t special. It’s fine.
