Knob Creek Single Barrel Reserve (No. 3403)

There’s a marriage here one of perfect harmony; fruit floral spice sweet and expressive toasted oak. Then the broad genres become specific: the fruit is cherries; the floral a hint of lavender; the sweet an array of toffee caramel and vanilla until its spice complexity kicks in showing allspice white pepper Spanish anise and nutmeg. Its proof never shows but the medium finish is just a touch short to make this truly special. (New Hampshire only)
