Bare Knuckle Straight Virginia Bourbon Whiskey – KNO Distillery (90 Proof)
90 proof 37 months Bourbon KNO Distillery Manassas, VA 70% corn, 20% wheat, 10% malted barley

Corny sweetness with nice spiciness (from barrel, not rye), caramel, vanilla—average bourbon nose with youthful character.

Sweet with spiciness on the sides and back of the tongue; peanut brittle and nutty notes; hugs a bit more than expected for the age; not overly ethanol-forward.

Medium finish with nutty character; slight drying quality.

Decent
A respectable young Virginia bourbon that shows promise as a mixer and earns marks for solid fundamentals despite its youth.
