I was excited to try this offering from Knob Creek, and while it is good, I was a bit underwhelmed. There is an early spiciness that is welcome, particularly for a 100 proof, but prominent flavors after that are absent. The closest thing I could identify is a smooth leather profile, while not unpleasant, is less flavorful and enjoyable as other bourbons in this price point. For a few dollars more, the Elijah Craig Small Batch is a better choice in my opinion.
