2001 Knob Creek Batch #3 Limited Edition Straight Bourbon Whiskey Tasting Notes
Nose: Barrel char and deep vanilla, sprinkling with ginger cookie spices and citrus zest. It’s a rich scent, one that is full-bodied without being bold, and is thus a touch more sophisticated than the standard Knob Creek and certainly moreso than the ballsy, potent Single Barrel.
Palate: The flavor leads with dry oak, with a toasty rather than charred aspect, with steady currents of cinnamon and vanilla running straight through. The cinnamon spice turns almost minty with some time.
Finish: The finish runs long and warm, and starts out dry and spicy but gradually winds down to just the spiciness.
