KNOB CREEK 12YR BOURBON WHISKEY

WHISKEY ADVOCATE'S TOP 10 2020: #2

Region: Kentucky

Tastes Like: Smooth and sweet, with tons of caramel, baking spices, and cooked sugar. An absolutely beautiful Bourbon.

Pairs With: Gingerbread house competitions, coping with the inevitable rise of the zombies, laid back Sunday evenings.

What the Pros Say: Whiskey Advocate - 95 Points: " Until now, most Knob Creek has been bottled at 9 years of age or younger for good reason: There’s no guarantee that bourbon will taste good after a dozen years in the barrel—let alone great. This one is richly complex from the start: York Peppermint Pattie, raisins, baking spice, dark chocolate-covered cherries, iced tea, and tobacco barn appear on the nose, followed by a chewy, full palate laden with cinnamon, allspice, and ginger, and perfectly balanced with sweet berry cobbler, chocolate ganache, and caramel. The finish goes on and on. Add in a fair price and excellent availability as part of Knob Creek’s core lineup, and only one question remains: What are you waiting for?"
