Knob Creek 12 Year Old

Tasting

How it drinks

Sight

Deep mahogany-copper; the darkest of the Knob Creek range from 12 years of oak contact, heavy legs

Nose

Intensely oaky with deep caramel, dark chocolate, leather, dried fruit, and tobacco. Three additional years beyond the 9yo add layers of wood-derived complexity — more tannin, more char influence, more dried fruit

Palate

Full-bodied and oak-forward. Dark caramel, leather, tobacco, dark chocolate, dried cherry, and intense wood spice. The 12-year aging pushes the oak influence to its peak — tannins are present but still balanced by caramel sweetness. More serious and contemplative than the 9yo

Finish

Very long finish dominated by oak, leather, dark chocolate, and dried fruit. The 12 years of barrel contact create a finish of exceptional length and depth. For oak lovers, the pinnacle of the Knob Creek range
