Tasting Notes

Knob Creek 12 Year Old 100 Proof is a full-bodied bourbon with pronounced depth and maturity. The nose opens with rich caramel, toasted oak, and brown sugar, layered with hints of vanilla, nutmeg, and dried fruit. On the palate, it delivers bold flavors of dark toffee, baking spices, roasted pecans, and subtle leather, all framed by a warming oak backbone. The finish is long and smooth, with lingering spice, vanilla, and gentle smokiness.
