Knob Creek 15 Year Old Bourbon (2020 Limited Release)
100 proof
15 years
Bourbon
Jim Beam
Clermont, KY
$100
75% corn, 13% rye, 12% malted barley
Nose
Darker and more focused than typical bourbons; deeper fruit notes of plum and raisin; oak and leather coming through prominently.
Palate
Powerful oak presence with spice from both the rye content and barrel influence; raisins and caramels with a hint of brown sugar; slight minty or cool refreshing quality from the rye; drying sensation on the steel but not overly tannic; keeps begging for another sip.
Finish
Longer and more persistent than the 18-year-old; lingers with spice and oak character.
Noteworthy
A bold, oaky fall sipper with strong spice and raisin notes that continuously invites another pour, though the heavy oak may not appeal to everyone.
