Second taste edit: this Knob offering makes me never want to buy a Booker’s again. It’s so rich and nutty and full of brown sugar. Cinnamon spice and everything nice. These are the bourbon notes I want, turned up to 11. Upping this guy to 4.5 in 2021.
I definitely get a lot of ethanol on the nose of this high-proof juice. Hear me out on this: I also get a little strawberry Twizzler. On the palate, bourbon: light cinnamon, oak and vanilla. It’s just more full than most bourbons that have a similar flavor profile. The Belle Meade was more complex tonight, but this is a heck of a sipper.
