Knob Creek

in Whisk(e)y Reviews
Generally in a whiskey tasting, the aromas & flavours that are picked up fall in the flavor camps such as – Fragrant & Floral / Malty & Dry / Fruity & Spice/Rich & Round/ Smoky & Peaty/ Rich & Oaky.
.
Here is Knob Creek, a Kentucky straight bourbon whiskey, which falls under the flavor camp of ‘Rich & Oaky’.

It is distilled to 130 deg proof (65% abv) & barreled at 125 deg proof (62.5% abv) & this one bottled at 100 deg proof (50% abv).

It comes with abundant vanilla aroma from it’s time spent in barrel & comes along with coconut and flavorful spice. It has blond gold colour.
On the palate lavish, bold, sweet, & luscious. Concentrated with cinnamon.
Finally, an oaky buttery finish.
Whisky Notes:
In Kentucky & Tennessee whiskies the main cereal used is corn which creates a sweet nose & a fat, buttery, & juicy quality on the palate.
Wheat is occasionally used by bourbon distillers in place of rye. This affects flavor by adding a gentle, mellow sweetness to the bourbon.
.
Knob Creek produced by Beam Suntory has three “siblings” brewed at the Jim Beam distillery: Booker’s, Baker’s, and Basil Hayden’s.
Knob Creek comes in four varieties: Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey, Straight Rye Whiskey, Smoked Maple Bourbon Whiskey, and Single Barrel Reserve.
