Whiskey that is incredibly smooth and delicious to drink

"Numerous Knob Creek Single Barrel 120 percent bourbons have been good to me. The issue is that individual barrels have varying flavors. With little to no burn to the palate and a very pleasing finish, this new 12 year Knob Creek Bourbon has a wonderfully smooth flavor. Although the flavors in the Knob Creek 12 Year are not as deep as those in the Single Barrel, I had hoped for more robust flavors. If you enjoy a really smooth drinking bourbon, I highly recommend."

Bourbon for men! Grrrrrrrr!

"My wife does not like this, not to be sexist. However, I do! It has a wonderful complexity to it but is a little more harsher on the palate than the 9 year. It needs a little water shot. Overall though, I believe it to be a very fine bourbon. Once more, it's a little overpriced at $80. There are several, superior options available for a lot less money."

Rudy (4/5)

Burly, Well-Rounded Whiskey

"I poured two over a single cube of tiny ice in my rocks glass. To describe this bourbon, I'd use words like sturdy, deep, rich, and manly. In my experience, adding a small amount of ice to your whiskey allows you to experience richer, deeper flavors and aromas. Nose: Burly oak, honey, vanilla, leather, pepper, and some mild fruit notes Palate: More vanilla, smoke, a hint of cocoa, red fruit, and a ton of honey-soaked rich wood Finish: Balanced and smooth, with no overpowering flavors that stand out at the end. Everything blends in perfectly, and at only 100 proof, it won't burn you. I'll have this on hand for weekend or special occasions."

9 years have passed. However, welcome to the age of twelve!

"I had the chance to experience the wonderful 9-year knob brook, and I thoroughly appreciated it. Was so sad to see it leave. . . HI, 12 YEAR OLD! Very smooth, rich, and delicious. Vanilla, caramel, toffee, and wonderful oak flavors in abundance. Be kind to yourself by. . . Get one before they run out."

Beat Knob For Any Sum

"At Costco, I discovered some 15-year whiskey, but I preferred the 12 because it was cheaper. The whiskey gives more than its older sibling despite having a touch more sting and greater flavor than the 15. It's a little sweeter than EH Taylor, but it tastes a lot like that whiskey. It's also more accessible than Buffalo Trace products."

Mandell U. (5/5)

A strong candidate for 2020 retreats

"The crop from last year was substantially superior. Seeing this item back on the shelf made me extremely happy. But compared to 2020's, this struck me as having a sour flavor."

Outstanding Source And Service

"These two fantastic bourbons were delivered on time after I bought two of them. a fantastic and inexpensive resource for those of us who don't want to make the long trek to the store. thanks."

Kai-Elezabeth (5/5)

Absolutely Delicious

"I truly appreciate how well-balanced the tastes are, as well as the pleasant, gentle warming of the neck and back of the tongue that the 100 proof delivers. This bourbon is excellent for any occasion."

Gordon10 (5/5)

A definite Favorite

"Is now my preferred bourbon to drink "everyday. " It's not difficult to obtain, and I believe that for the price, the quality is on par with that of more expensive bourbons."

Perish F. (5/5)

It was worth the money I spent.

"Excellent whiskey for the money. The flavor is rich, intricate, and sweet, although the finish is a little shaky. Worth attempting, and ease of accessibility is a plus. 4. 5 stars."
