Hello and salutations!
Bourbon. Yes! Bourbon. The quintessential American whiskey! A very specific set of rules (laws), guide the production and distribution of bourbon whiskey. I love the stuff! No doubt. Sweet, woody, with spice, vanilla, toffee, and various fruit and oak notes,,bourbon is a first class whiskey, and should be deeply explored by any whiskey enthusiast.
Knob Creek, Small Batch Bourbon is a wonderful introduction to the wold of premium bourbons. My tasting notes follow.
Nose: Brown sugar. Orange. Vanilla. Apricot. Pears. Also a sort of alfalfa and hay note.
Taste: Spongecake. Caramel, spice. Oak. A piney, resinous taste. Sweet, cider taste.
Finnish: Apple-wood. Herb/bitter. Cinnamon. Fragrant oak. Juicy Fruit gum.
This is the bourbon that first got me interested in premium bourbon. Seems to be an honest, well crafted bourbon. Full flavored, quality, and rich. Overall experience is rich, flavorful, forward flavored, perhaps a bit much for bourbon noobs, but spot on for anyone interested in experiencing premium, aged, bourbon,
