Knob Creek 12 Year Old Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey 750ML is a full-bodied, well-aged small-batch bourbon that reflects classic Kentucky craftsmanship with added maturity and depth. Aged longer than the standard Knob Creek expression, it delivers amplified oak influence, richer caramelization, and a more structured, refined profile while maintaining its signature boldness.
Nose: Deep and robust with aromas of toasted oak, vanilla bean, caramel, charred wood, and baking spices. Subtle undertones of dark fruit, roasted nuts, and maple syrup add warmth and complexity.
Tasting Palette: Rich and intense with layered flavors of burnt caramel, toffee, vanilla, and charred oak. Hints of cinnamon, clove, and black pepper provide structure, while underlying sweetness from corn mash balances the bold wood influence. The texture is full and slightly oily, leading into a long, warming finish with lingering spice, oak, and sweet vanilla.
Drinking Style: Best enjoyed neat or with a splash of water to open up its deeper oak and caramel notes. Also excellent over a large ice cube for a slower, evolving sip. Ideal for classic bourbon cocktails like an Old Fashioned or Manhattan, and pairs well with grilled meats, smoked foods, pecan desserts, and dark chocolate.
