Bare Knuckle Straight Virginia Bourbon Whiskey – KNO Distillery
90 proof 37 months Bourbon KNO Distillery Louisville, KY 70% corn, 20% wheat, 10% malted barley
Nose

Corny sweetness with pleasant spice from barrel (not rye), notes of vanilla and caramel. Average bourbon nose without amazing complexity.

Palate

Sweet with spiciness across the palate. Nutty character with peanut brittle notes. Some hug/heat present. Slightly leveled profile without jutting out in any one area.

Finish

Short to medium finish with residual sweetness and barrel spice.

Average
A respectable young bourbon that shows promise as a mixer, with adequate structure but lacking the refinement of older expressions.
