There are notes of candy floss and nut oil, a touch of spice and dark chocolate, a little spice and charred oak. unless we get written confirmation from you that this is acceptable and that you will take full responsibilty if the parcel goes missing.One of the largest whiskey producers in the country operates several distilleries in the eastern state of the USA.

Copper to medium amber in colour, it is a bold balance of deep, pre-Prohibition-style bourbon with a robust oak taste, complemented with hints of smooth vanilla and layered caramel. It is aged near the center of the rackhouse due to the warmer temperatures there, which also help to produce a higher quality bourbon. Knob Creek wouldn’t be an industry-wide darling if it tasted bad or didn’t have a palatable flavor profile, so it’s time for me to find out what exactly makes it so likable.

I recently compared it twice with an earlier favorite, Four Roses Single Barrel, and both times I found Knob Creek 9 year small batch 100 proof bourbon to be clearly superior.

I’m thinking about things I wish I had known, mistakes I wish I hadn’t made, and whiskeys I wish I had tried sooner. Knob Creek is an American brand of Kentucky straight bourbon whiskey produced by Beam Suntory (a subsidiary of Suntory Holdings of Osaka, Japan) at the Jim Beam distillery in Clermont, Kentucky. In short I was pleasantly surprised and would grab this bottle in a line up of 50 dollar or less bottles everytime.In my opinion, those looking to get an upgraded Jim Beam experience would do well to seek out the entry-level nine year old expression from Knob Creek. Tilting the glass at a slightly different angle presents a completely different aromatic profile, with the aforementioned nuts (more like cashews than peanuts, though), as well as the rich and spicy meatiness of roasted pork seasoned with an ancho chili rub.
