Knob Creek Single Barrel Reserve Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey (75cl, 60%)

This is the single barrel bottling of Knob Creek, a Kentucky straight bourbon made at the Jim Beam distillery in Clermont, Kentucky. Each bottle is drawn from one individually selected barrel and bottled at 60% ABV (120 proof) without dilution. The barrels are deeply charred white oak. Because every bottle comes from a single barrel, age, position on the rack and maturation conditions bring slight differences in taste, colour and aroma from one barrel to the next. The nose is bold, with oak, caramel and dried fruit. The palate is full-bodied with a big oak sweetness, and the finish is long and warming, with lingering oak and vanilla.
