A sample from dthom as part of the "whiskey transfer program". This is a 120 proof 14 year barrel pick. I usually like Jim Beam products in general and Knob Creek specifically so I'm looking forward to this. Nose: Very sweet vanilla with dark caramelized sugars and toasted nuts, and a background grassy herbal note. The more I get in to the nose the more I get the usual nutty Jim Beam feel that I enjoy. Flavor: More vanilla and dark sugars, heavy toasted nuts, some baking spice, red fruits especially cherry. A little buttery which I enjoy. A little like caramelized pecans or peanut brittle. Finish: Medium long with more toasted nuts, barrel char, some rye spice, baking spices, fading in to a drying nutty barrel flavor that I enjoy. Hits all the high points I expect from a Jim Beam product and at quite a solid price point. High value and very tasty.
