Description
From WhiskeyReviewer.com: It’s mustier and woodier than KC9 and especially the discontinued KC NAS, but in a pleasant way that adds to its brawny character. Beneath that signal of age is a thick base of caramel, ginger cookies and brown sugar.
The flavor turns away from that woody aspect the nose led with, going deep into the sweet side. It’s flavorful, albeit perhaps not quite as big-bodied as the nose suggests, kind of like a red velvet cake smothering in vanilla icing, with loads of brown sugar, ginger shavings and baking spices thrown in. The finish makes a third jink, turning (surprisingly) ashy.
This bourbon takes the classic Knob Creek profile and builds on it in a way that can’t really be called more sophisticated, but still brings more character to the table. If you are the kind of bourbon fan who likes what Jim Beam does, get a bottle.
