Knob Creek 21 Year Old
120 proof 21 years Bourbon Beam Suntory Clermont, KY $250

Standout aromatic profile with almond joy, coconut, vanilla, and cherry notes. Subtle chocolate undertones with restrained oak presence that doesn't overpower.

Dark chocolate, salted caramel, vanilla, and coconut flavors. Oak is present but doesn't dominate the experience. Rich and complex without harshness.

Lingers with a distinctive coconut sweetness and hints of cherry and tobacco leather. Smooth and lingering with restrained oak.

Excellent
A mature, beautifully balanced whiskey with one of the finest noses tasted in 2025, delivering sophisticated fruit and confection notes without excessive oak.
