How do you drink Knob Creek 9 Year Old Bourbon Whiskey?
Knob Creek 9 Year Old Bourbon Whiskey shines when sipped neat or with a splash of water to open up its rich flavors, but it also holds its own in spirit-forward cocktails like Old Fashioneds or Manhattans. This robust bourbon is perfect for cool autumn evenings or winter nights by the fire, pairing beautifully with hearty dishes like grilled steaks, smoky barbecue, or dark chocolate desserts.
Nose: Rich caramel and vanilla dominate, followed by toasted oak and hints of dried fruit. A subtle spiciness emerges, reminiscent of cinnamon and nutmeg. There's a touch of maple syrup sweetness and a faint nuttiness in the background.
Palate: Full-bodied and robust. Caramel and vanilla carry through from the nose, joined by flavors of roasted nuts and charred oak. A peppery spice builds, balanced by notes of dark chocolate and leather. As it develops, hints of ripe stone fruits and a subtle tobacco character emerge.
Finish: Long and warming. The spice lingers, accompanied by oak tannins and a pleasant dryness. Caramel and vanilla sweetness fade slowly, leaving behind a satisfying warmth with traces of toasted nuts and dark fruit.
Knob Creek 9 Year Old Bourbon is crafted using a time-honored process that includes a unique mash bill of corn, rye, and malted barley, followed by distillation in copper stills and aging for a full 9 years in new, charred American oak barrels. What sets this bourbon apart is its extended aging period, which is significantly longer than the industry standard, allowing the whiskey to develop a rich complexity and depth of flavor while interacting with the wood over nearly a decade.
