Tasting Notes

Knob Creek 9 Year Single Barrel Reserve is a robust and full-bodied bourbon with pronounced depth from nine years of barrel aging. On the nose, it delivers rich caramel, toasted oak, and vanilla, complemented by notes of brown sugar, dark chocolate, and a touch of spice. The palate is bold and layered, featuring warm toffee, caramelized nuts, oak, and hints of cinnamon and nutmeg. The finish is long, satisfying, and slightly peppery, with lingering caramel and toasted oak.
