Knob Creek SiB Select Store Pick REVIEW (120 Proof)

   Handcrafted Bourbon Whiskey Custom Bottle Gifts WhiskeyGifter.com Knob Creek SB Select ( 120 Proof  ) Notes: Freddie Noe [Sherlock's Pick  #2 Select 6/19/2020]  For my taste, I find most of the Knob Creek SB Select bourbons to be a bit more floral & clove forward on the nose and palate. These are all solid and good bourbons from the batches I have enjoyed.  This batch in particular seems to branch off from the normal Knob Creek profile and becomes a very enjoyable bourbon with peanut butter and molasses flavors that are buttery rich.  It rounds out nicely with other flavors on the palate. My bottle was opened for a few months prior to this review. Fair Bottle Value: $60 Color: dark rich amber Nose: wonderfully complex : vanilla, peanut, caramel, toffee, marshmallow, leather, tobacco and char Palate: salted peanut, molasses, butter, clove, cinnamon, brown sugar, baking spice Finish: Long : buttery warm cinnamon spice, brown sugar, oak, honey & clove Rating:  4.5/5 Recom

  Bull Run Barrel Strength 12Yr Batch #18 (115 Proof ) https://bullrundistillery.com/spirits/barrel-strength-bourbon Notes:  Bull Run Distilling Co.  Fair Bottle Value:  $65 Color:  dark honey Nose:  complex : smokey   oak, molasses, leather, honey, praline, caramel, vanilla, tobacco, ripe white grapes Palate:  cinnamon, caramel, oak char Finish:  med-long : a nice satiny finish with hints of caramel, honey, cherry and pepper Rating:  4/5 Recommend:  Yes : The nose is very complex on this bottle with lingering aromas that project out of the glass and into the room. Palate and finish are nice, but not overly complex. There is a nice aged aroma and flavor that you would expect from a 12 Yr product. It smells like a barrelhouse with old aged distillates.
