Knob Creek 12 Year Cask Strength
120.5 proof 12 years Bourbon Beam Suntory $99.99 77% corn, 13% rye, 10% malted barley

Brown sugar and sorghum molasses with concentrated oak, vanilla, and caramel notes. Dark cherry fruit with hints of walnut and buttery baked cherry pie with a hint of barrel.

Very bold and spicy with prominent brown sugar sweetness on the front. Strong oak presence with spice that rolls back. Hot and high-proof forward with nuts including pecan pie notes and smoking tobacco. Dry on the back of the palate.

Medium to long finish sitting at mid-palate without significant throat heat. Lingering spice and oak without an aggressive Kentucky hug.

Noteworthy
A bold, well-aged cask-strength bourbon that showcases 12 years of oak maturation and is worth seeking out for experienced bourbon drinkers.
