We (as in @pkingmartin , @Bourbon_Obsessed_Lexington , @Richard-ModernDrinking and @ctbeck11 ) had our quarterly online tasting. This was one of the spectacular pours of the evening, this one courtesy of @Bourbon_Obsessed_Lexington. The other four were
1) Bardstown Chateau Laubade batch 1
2) Craigellechie 13 Armagnac finished ,
3) Barrell 20yr Seagrass, and
4) 2021 Lagavulin 12
I’ve had the Knob Creek 15 before, which I bought for a mere $60 when it came out. I thought it was okay, but at $60, I’m not going to complain. Originally, I assumed this might be the same Knob Creek, just a different label. It’s not…way more complex.
Nose is dark fruits, vanilla, oak. Classic bourbon. Palette—-classic high quality bourbon. Leather wrapped, oak, some rye, vanilla and maple. This is the definition of high quality classic bourbon.
Not sure the price on this…but anything less than $150, I’d be a buyer. The layers of complexity launches it to a whole new level of that store pick 15yr Knob Creek I had some time back.
Thanks to @Bourbon_Obsessed_Lexington for the pour!
