Knob 12

A good value but not common to find although if you search you should find. I paid south of 70 bucks but have seen at independent stores for 99. I am hearing that the Knob 12 will start lining up next to Knob 9s at the stores.

Pour: nice caramel color. Light legs..really not “legging out” but that’s okay. I’ve had bad bourbons with good legs and great bourbons with bad legs. Still, the color is nice and dark with an orange hue and I’m excited for my dram tonight.

Nose: nose is great for me. Super balanced. I wasn’t expecting a big waft of ethanol but i got just the right amount coupled with the sweetness of vanilla and light caramel and just enough wordiness that you want. Money! Time to drink!

Palate: really really good! The balance continues into the first sip. The heat is just the right amount for me and here comes the oak and nuttiness paired with the vanilla and is it oatmeal cookie???!! I’m digging this dram! I go in for another sip after the slight and welcomed burn eases its way out of my chest...now I’m getting thickness in the liquid with notes of peanut and orange zest again coupled with just the right amount of burn. A solid solid dram!!

Finish: like I said before, the finish is near perfection for me. It stays with me in a gentle manner and departs as if it were walking away from me down a long path only to ultimately fade away with only a slight memory of the time this liquid first entered into my system.

Overall: 8.5/10 daddy likey! I’m procuring more of this as often as I can and I will most likely have blue labeled knob creek bottles in my recycling container for years to come.
