OK so another Knob Single to review. 10/14/2004 to 2/5/2019 so 14+ years old. Party Source pick. Nose - I get a light fruit, some saw dust, cherry wood, and alcohol esters. You might notice some bourbon notes missing. A drop of water and this things pops open and unlocks the classic bourbon notes. There a funk and hay and barn like note here too. A touch of savory. Taste - Butter, toast, vanilla, oak...oh and a really rich butter on the finish. A second taste and I'm getting more of the classic bourbon vanilla and caramel and oak. It's lively and explosive in flavor but there's this buttery note and it's even in the mouth feel. Water brings out old leathery bourbon and the butter leaves the foreground but remains on the finish. This is very much an off profile knob creek and it's wonderful bourbon. I'm going 3.75 but I seriously considered a 4.0. But lets save that for exceptional whisky and not just my favorite Knob Creek to date. I will note that at 45 bucks the value here is insane and this is why I recommend people try as many knob creek single barrels as they can. Even the non store picks can be exceptional and I really do mean exceptional.
