The Story
A highly exclusive, private barrel selection bottled specifically for The Whisky Explorer Society. This premium Kentucky Straight Bourbon was laid down in Warehouse J (Floor #5, Rick #17) and aged for a full 9 years. Bottled entirely uncut and unfiltered at a blistering 120 proof (60% ABV), it delivers an incredibly concentrated, robust, and complex flavor profile. This is a rare, one-of-a-kind barrel that showcases the absolute pinnacle of Knob Creek's heavy-oak, sweet-spice character.
NOSE
Intense and deeply aromatic with rich caramel, dark brown sugar, roasted peanuts, and heavy toasted oak.
PALATE
Thick, oily, and incredibly full-bodied. Huge waves of toffee, honeycrisp apple, and vanilla bean are layered over heavy barrel char, warm cinnamon, and a hint of dark cherry.
FINISH
Extremely long and chest-warming, leaving a lasting trail of peppery spice, dark caramel, and seasoned leather.
