Knob Creek Single Barrel Select 120 Proof
120 proof 9.5 years Bourbon Knob Creek $62.99 75% corn, 13% rye, 12% barley

Standout character of burnt marshmallow, crème brûlée, and atomic fireball cinnamon with prominent leather notes. Deep charred oak with hints of campfire smoke and burnt sugar.

Surprisingly approachable for 120 proof without harsh alcohol punch. Very oak-forward with burnt sugar, cinnamon spice, and booker's-like leather character. Slightly drying tannins are appropriate to the wood impact.

Pleasant and moderately drying with spice and oak tannins that stick around longer than the Maker's selection.

Overall Score
4.3 / 5
A bold, well-aged oak-forward bourbon that delivers a captivating nose and excellent value despite its high proof and prominent tannic structure.
