Nine years old,100 proof, around $35, it’s hard to understand why Knob Creek bourbon isn’t bought by the truckload, since every other super premium of this caliber has gone allocated, completely dropped its age statement or DOUBLED in price. The nose is sweet corn, mint, and chocolate orange. Extremely pleasant and elegant. The palate is a cinnamon spice, orange vanilla cream, oak inflected dream. Perfect to sip neat, but also decent with a cube. PURE BOURBON PLEASURE
