Neat. Neck pour. Store pick - Gallenstein Selection 22, 15 year 4 months! Might be my oldest Knob Creek yet. Hmmm, brighter than I was expecting on the nose for being this old. It’s cherry and vanilla leading. Nutmeg, cinnamon. Barrel char. I’d have a tough time guessing the age on this blind. The color is dark but it is bright initially. I let it sit for a bit and the caramel is emerging. It’s that hard caramel that my grandma carried in her purse. Worthington’s right? The oak is more there as well. This one may change significantly now that it is opened. Rich and creamy, cinnamon and brown sugar take of the mouth instantly. Zero Beam nuttiness. Not even a hint. I might mistake this for Buffalo Trace it is that off profile. Cherry and even a slight hint of orange. So sweet. Super bright and rich vanilla. Some caramel coming out too. The oak only shows up on the very back end and it’s just a hint. The more I sit with it, I start getting cola even. Cherry cola. Man, this is a good pick and I needed a good pick. Last Knob I cracked sucked. This one comes roaring back. Shocked by the flavor profile. A cherry forward, zero nuttiness Knob Creek? A 15 year with only a hint of oak? I may compare this later to EHT Barrel Proof later. It is more in line with than than a Beam product. So strange but utterly delicious.
