Review for Knob Creek Barrel Pick #2
Nose: Beam peanut funk wrapped in oak, corn grain but not sweet. Rye spice, and a hint of ethanol later in the palate. Average. Palate: Sweet and spicy rye and corn grains on the front of the palate. Transition to mild peanut punk, though less pronounced than many Beam products. Late herbal notes, not too intense. Slightly above average. Mouthfeel: Full, slightly above average. Finish: Long warm hug, with a hint of the rye spice coming and going. Overall: Slightly Above Average (I give it a 6.5/10 with a 5/10 being an actual average Bourbon). Proof might actually get in the way of some of the nicer notes on both the nose and palate (which is not usually an issue for me)
