Knob Creek Smoked Maple

Talk about dessert. The maple syrup and vanilla smell that hot your nose as soon as you bring the glass to your face send sparks to your eyes. It tastes like a buttered pancake with Canadian (not American) maple syrup. Next time you want dessert, grab a glass of this neat 👌

Tarnished brass in color. Real sticky. Ultra syrupy. This smells like a sugar shack in the mountains of Virginia. It's not lost on me that it's bourbon, but it is definitely defined almost entirely by maple syrup. It's a wonderful holiday treat and would pair well with a stack of pancakes!

Nose - from a foot away it's like smelling a pancake breakfast with lots of pure maple syrup Taste - slight burn with more maple flavor Finish - a toasty and slight smokey follow through Score - 3.5, so this is hard to rate since as a desert it's solid. No way would I just sip this regularly. Maybe make some mixed drinks or cook with it as well. Scoring Legend 5.0 - Outstanding, unmatched to others 4.5 - Excellent, I will always keep a bottle in stock if possible 4.0 - Very good, quite enjoyable to drink, can consider as a solid choice 3.5 - Good, would taste again 3.0 - Average 2.5 - Acceptable, still drinkable 2.0 - Inferior, able to drink but not enjoyable 1.5 and below—wouldn’t drink again unless I am desperate

Absolutely abysmal. Cough syrup sweet with no redeeming qualities.
