Nose packs a punch, but delivers some quintessential bourbon flavors. There’s honey, caramel, and sugar. Body is softer and mellower when it first hits, then strikes with a good deal of heat. That transition of the mouth feel is interesting. Not sure how they did that. The flavor on the body is subtle. A tad of cinnamon, some tea leaves. A bit of lemon in the sharpest moments. Finish delivers on the citrus flavor, with heavy cinnamon. I’m always fascinated when a bourbon can surprise you. Nose has caramel? Screw you brah, body is gonna have citrus. The mouth feel transition during the body is also fascinating. Bookers has done some screwy stuff like this over the years, but this knob creek is something special. Very glad I got this bottle!
