Knob Creek 18 Year Bourbon 30th Anniversary (2022 Release)

Bourbon — Kentucky, USA

Reviewed October 10, 2022 (edited November 16, 2022)
3.5
3.5 out of 5 stars
Another that the review is already out there but wanted to more in depth notes. Nose - I keep saying this about this one, but the fruity and oaky forward knob creek profile is unmistakable. It's amazing how well they've done at not just making this "Beam" but making it unmistakably a part of the Knob Creek lineup. Lemon/citrus jam meets rich oak, slightly dried oak, dried barn leaf tobacco, heavy caramel sweetness with minimal if any vanilla. Taste - More of the same. Rich oak, heavy spices, cinnamon, huge tobacco leaf, rich caramel, some french vanilla, lightly nutty, and more and more traditional heavy vanilla on the back end. I'll give this the same score of the 15, a 3.5. I'm feeling this is an over statement. 180 bucks is a bit too much, but it's fun, it's a bit different, and it's cool to see such an old age statement.
180.0 USD per Bottle

    @PBMichiganWolverine this is a one off special release for their 30th anny. The 15 is now a core bottle, though the original one with the box was 120-125 so this isn't THAT bad a price hike. But you're not going to get this if you're wanting a step up from the 15. It's just a nice cool whisky to have. I'd not recommend for anyone expecting this to be knob's BTAC or something crazy. It's just a cool bottle.

    I saw this one on the shelf at $190…was a hard pass especially since the 15 was over half its price. Seemed like an age gimmick, unless I start to see some positive reviews
