Lets open with laughing at whatever idiot gave this a 95 on distillers. Anyway, after the massive failure that was the 25th anniversary I thought it would be fun to go ahead and try the 2001. As we all know Knob Creek has become really well known for the insanely good store picks that are coming out often with 14-15 year age statements. This 14 year at 100 proof however is likely going to be a huge failure. It's bourbon so looks don't matter. Nose is classic bourbon. Slightly nutty, vanilla, oak, light fruits, and maybe a touch of a custard. The flavor brings a lot of oak, not the old rich leather oak but just a lot of fresh cut oak, vanilla of course, it's a really good quality bourbon. Finish is medium, nothing special again. More or less this is knob creek 9 year old with a touch more oak and quality. It's nothing more than that though. The standard single barrels are often better, not even the older store picks. That said unlike the 25th, this is very good bourbon. It's just 120 bucks which is a joke.
