Knob Creek Smoked Maple

Dessert in a glass

Very sweet to start. In fact too sweet for me. The sweetness overwhelms the bourbon flavors in the middle and finish. I taste the bourbon briefly. the sweetness returns and that is all I taste. Very little burn. This is a dessert bourbon.

Sweet and smoky. Less burn then I would have anticipated.

My favorite flavored bourbon. the maple tastes real (Im from New England, we get touchy about our syrup) and blend well with the bourbon without masking it. While lots of flavored whiskeys use the flavoring to cover a lower quality whiskey this accents and components it. I gave this as a gift to a cousin who likes crown maple and it blew him away.

Sweet and smooth. Maple is present. Not getting the smoke up as much. Overall pretty good
