Knob Creek 9 Year Old Bourbon Whiskey Review
More often than not, older Knob Creek bottlings — and most of the James B. Beam bourbons, for that matter — exhibit prominent peanut and caramel notes. This expression offers a slight departure from the norm with bright red fruit aromas underscored by a medley of baking spices. With an age statement of nine years and a price of just $37, this whiskey truly delivers on the value front. Plus, it’s even-keeled, but assertive ABV brings great depth on the palate.
