Knob Creek 18 Year 2022 Limited Edition Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey Review

A limited edition run, re-introduced in 2022, this bourbon is bottled with significantly more age than most so-called unicorn bottlings. And yet, there is a feeling that Knob Creek 18 may somehow fly under the radar of some aficionados, which absolutely should not be the case. This is easily the best new bourbon we sampled this year, with a defined personality that shows the full capabilities of this accomplished distillery. It takes the recognizable Knob Creek profile of chocolate and peanuts to new heights of nuance and elegance, with a hint of musty, dried floral notes. Get it while you can!
