One of my favourite bourbons
being a novice taster my first goal starting out was to be consistent so I only taste and compare when I know I am in the mood for a drink. My test of look, nose, mouth feel, taste, and finish are followed with a 30 second drop of ice to cool and melt just enough to bring out different characteristics in my samples. Thus far Knob Creek SB 9 yo has outscored 4 roses SB, Old Forester 100 proof, Larceny 92 proof, and one of my favs Russells SB 110 proof. my palate is by no means refined but I picked out the butter and clove along with the slightly dry finish. In short I was pleasantly surprised and would grab this bottle in a line up of 50 dollar or less bottles everytime.
It’s definitely my favorite, all the Jim Beam line I’ve taken a liking to the sour mash and yeast strain principle, which is a guarded family secret like Kentucky fried chicken ?. I consider it premium for my price range, though it’s classified as mid range, I’ve tried a lot of other bourbons and scotches and Irish whiskey, but I’m settled on the Beam, I like the fact that it has a dry finish…as also the other Beam line like Devils Cut, which taste like a ten year old…
No complaints here, a chewy 50% vol bourbon, nutty, punchy, plenty of character and not too sweet. I prefer this to their rye or regular expressions. Reminds me of WT 101 but with softer edges. Good price point too.
This is my favorite bourbon at this price point. It never disappoints. Full bodied but not off-putting, spicy yet buttery smooth. Nine years well spent.
