Knob Creek Bourbon Quarter Oak

At the forefront, rich honey and oak mingle together with vanilla, leather, cinnamon, mixed dried fruit, and brown sugar hiding behind. There’s a surprisingly stronger amount of ethanol than expected for a 100 proof bourbon. Despite this, the nose is layered and nuanced bringing forth a really nice balance of sweet and dry flavors. Subtle, yet full of flavor - sans the stronger presence of ethanol which holds back the nose from being really great - it’s a good introduction and foreshadows what’s to come.
