The higher you go in the Kentucky barrel rick house during summer, the hotter it gets. Oftentimes the hotter the temperatures, the more intense the evaporation and concentration of flavor. Whatever happened on the sixth floor of the Beam warehouse during the maturation of this Knob Creek single barrel we selected recently in Kentucky was pure magic. It’s like dessert in a bottle, formed over the course of nine years!
Don’t miss it.
Knob Creek "Mission Exclusive-Sixth Floor Candy" 9 Year Old Single Barrel 120 Proof Kentucky Bourbon 750ml - $59.99
Our latest Knob Creek single barrel takes its name from the sweet, candy-like flavors that permeate its profile from start to finish. Aged on the sixth floor of the Knob Creek warehouse, the heat endured over 9 years of maturation really brought out the dessert in this whiskey. It starts with candied apricot on the nose, bolstered by Jolly Ranchers fruit and burnt vanilla on the initial sip. Notes of sweet rock candy flesh out the palate and morph into French Burnt coated peanuts on the finish. Cinnamon Red Hot baking spices leave a lasting impression on the palate, begging your sweet tooth for another pour. We’re expecting this barrel to be a very popular one!
