Knob Creek - The Whiskey Roundup

Knob Creek Small Batch
100 Proof

I have a bottle of Knob Creek Small Batch 100 Proof on my shelf that I have been nursing for over a year now. It's so damn delicious I don't want to see it go. Silly, I know. I could always run out get another. But I'm hanging on to it. Birthday present and all. While I'm busy nursing this one bottle, this week I'm looking at a few things Knob Creek.

I always like to bring a small bottle with me on the off chance that I actually play golf. It's not very often. And usually it's something cheaper like Bulleit or Buffalo Trace, whatever I can find in a pint size. Knob Creek really steps it up a notch and brings the game to a new level.

Not a bad way to spend a Friday! •

There are two things in the whiskey world I am having trouble getting behind. Smoked whiskey and maple flavor. I do like the flavors, I just don't know that everyone needs to be putting whiskeys out there with those flavors. Is it a money grab?

Holy Crap! This is delicious! I might go get another bottle before these are all gone. #knobcreek pic.twitter.com/Rw5cxJc5pn

This was a great review on Knob Creek. A history nerd myself, I liked the historical background offered at the beginning of the review. I also like that it's a South African doing the review of an American whiskey.

A Jim Beam turf war. It's interesting to see that despite the differences in age and proof, not mention price, the flavors were similar. I may have to try out a similar tasting comparison myself.  

A Jim Beam faceoff: one is 14 years old & 120 proof for $45, the other is 13 years old & 107 proof for $100. The Knob Creek leans spicy & the Baker’s leans sweet, but they are strikingly similar.

On value & taste, I prefer the Knob Creek.#jimbeam #knobcreek #bakers13 #bourbon pic.twitter.com/lZ5SwC6psJ

Whiskey Roundup 03/15/20 to 03/21/20

Every Saturday I go through Twitter with #whiskey and roundup my favorite whiskey articles! These are may favorites for this week!




I love rye whiskeys, especially single barrels. Whistlepig is sure to deliver big flavor!

The flavors are all over the place in this Whistlepig 10 barrel pick by the Bourbon Scouts, which is actually a 15 year barrel. Big rye, dill, cinnamon and nutmeg, black pepper, oak, and honeysuckle. Not a long finish, but a fascinating one!#whiskey pic.twitter.com/l7Ankpt4Oq

My first sip of Knob Creek, I wasn't a fan. I was a college student who didn't know any better. I'm going to have to track down this rye offering!

Tonight’s whiskey choice is @knobcreek Straight Rye. I’m a big fan of Knob Creek in general although I typically drink their bourbon. This rye is solid- not super unique but delicious and easy drinking even at a bold 100 proof. #QuaratineLife #whiskey pic.twitter.com/3OE2Ga7MLp
