Knob Creek 15 year old Kentucky Straight Bourbon is a wonderful small-batch whiskey created as a sequel to previous iterations such as the 2001 vintage, offering a depth of flavor and equally matched quality. Composed of a mash bill containing 77% corn, 13% rye, and 10% malted barley, this sublimely crafted bourbon is aged for a minimum of 15 years in new charred oak barrels and bottled at 50% ABV. The nose opens with wafts of aged old oak hung with sweet dark fruits, worn leather, and vanilla splashed with citrus. On the tongue are tendrils of caramel and meandering notes of spices, wildflowers, and cocoa-coated marshmallows. The finish is both long and full of heat, lingering on your tongue like a dewy, Kentucky sunset. Knob Creek Kentucky Straight Bourbon will leave you standing, metaphorically, toes in cool mountain creek water as the summer’s sun settles in your belly.
