Nose: the nose is amazing. I’m a sucker for knob creek anyway, but still. Very oaky and caramel forward. Some cherries on the end Palate: lots of oak and caramel up front. Rich but light at the same time. I can see the store picks flavor within this but I think this lacks the punch. Finish: heavy vanilla finish and a pretty long one too As long as knob creek store picks, especially the older ones, are available I don’t think I’d buy another one of these for $100. But if those store picks go away I might buy some backups.
