Bourbon/Rye Review #35: Knob Creek Single Barrel Reserve Bourbon - Binny's 9yr 8mo # 5678
This barrel was sourced from Warehouse/Floor E(6), Rack/Tier 16(2)
Color - Caramel
Nose - Marshmallow, vanilla, white fruit
Taste - Caramel, syrup
Mouthfeel - Medium
Finish - Hot - Caramel, syrup and spice
Finish Length - Medium
Overall - 5/7 - This was just a little too hot at 60% but it calmed down with a little water. It is pretty simple, straight forward. However, it is cheap, barrel proof and easy to drink. I might pick up one of these store picks.
Rating system is price influenced as it is based on my shopping decisions when buying a bottle.
