Tasting Notes and Characteristics:

This Knob Creek 21 Yr Single Barrel Bourbon feels lush and expansive on the palate, offering a silky yet assertive mouthful of caramel, dark fruit, and toasted oak with a gentle, warming spice that lingers through the finish. It comes from the Knob Creek line in Kentucky, United States, crafted as a single-barrel expression aged 21 years and bottled at 0.54 ABV, a testament to its concentration and depth. The result is a poised, full-bodied bourbon that rewards slow sipping, and in a practical pairing, you can imagine it pairing beautifully with dark chocolate or a slice of smoked brisket, where the sweetness and smoke echo its own rich profile.
