Knob Creek 18 Year Old Bourbon
100 proof 18 years Bourbon Knob Creek Clermont, KY $150 75% corn, 13% rye, 12% malted barley

Drunken cherries steeped in bourbon, deep caramel without sweetness, prominent oak, minty freshness underlying, cereal grain notes reminiscent of Cheerios, vanilla, little bit of smokiness.

Caramel minus the sweetness, significant oak presence with slight drying quality, cherry note that becomes more pronounced on successive sips, a touch of bitterness like biting into a tart apple, baking spices including clove and cinnamon, well-balanced without being overly spicy or sweet.

Medium finish that doesn't linger for an extended period, pleasant but not long-lasting, flavors present but fade relatively quickly.

Above average
A thoughtful, well-crafted 18-year-old expression that balances substantial oak maturity with restraint, best enjoyed as a contemplative sipper with a cigar.
