This is one I've had before in the wide release, 9 year 120 proof.
The store picks I've always flirted with but in the end went with rye instead of bourbon. They went from $50 to $60 to $70 in three years. This is great whisky, but far too much of an increase. I love Knob Creek, but when the 12 went from $60 to $72 in my neck of the woods, that eliminated Knob 12 as an option, especially when ECBP is $75 or LCBP is $65. Both better. So, I saw that the Circle Liquor Single Barrel Knob was $49 and went with it.
This is a caramel bomb. Dulce de leche through and through on the nose and palate. Vanilla, too. And then the finish is a little tobacco leaf. A little oak.
That's it. Not amazingly complex, but the intensity of flavor make purchasing this worth it. It's the best single barrel store pick I've had. End of story.
Shit, that's my shortest review ever. Followers know I'm long-winded. I've twice had douchbags give me the too long didn't read response. But know what, fuck you. This is a review site for you. Whisky diary for me. This is my space. A whisky book. And I'm keeping to that.
