Review #: 240
Description: Knob Creek Single Barrel: NH Merrimack County
Spirit: Bourbon
Background: Another Knob Creek Single Barrel expression, this time coming from New Hampshire’s Merrickmack County. Distilled on October 14th, 2004 and aged in warehouse W-I, floor F-04, and rick R-018 before bottling on April 27th, 2019. Let’s see how it tastes.
Distillery – Jim Beam
Bottler – Jim Beam
Brand – Knob Creek
Selection – NH Merrimack County
ABV – 60%
Age – 14 Years 6 Months
Nose – Loads of brown sugar, cinnamon-sugar, rich leather and oak, some dark cherries and sweet apples in there too
Taste – Brown sugar, maple syrup, caramel vanilla, dark and rich stone fruits
Finish – Toasted oak, chocolate covered cherries, tobacco, in the very back is some of that Beam roasted peanut, little bit of fruity pebbles cereal
Score: 7
Would I buy a bottle? Yes
Thoughts: Another banger of a Knob Creek Single Barrel. This one is much darker and fruiter compared to the last review. There is a little bit of the Beam nuttiness but even if you don’t like peanuts, I don’t think this should deter you. Picking this up in NH for about $43 with no tax, this might be one of the greatest value bottles I have ever bought.
