I'm very curious about that 15 year knob creek

Ditto. I loved the 12y release for ~ $55, perfectly balanced and less nutty than Beam usually is. Have heard mixed things on the 15y

I've never had the 12 yr release either I need to drink more!

Highly recommended, might be my favorite Beam product, Bookers has been a little nutty for me lately (and getting more expensive)

Thanks. I'll keep an eye out for it. I'm leaving work early for a bourbon run. Were visiting family in upstate NY tomorrow. I want to bring something fun (plus, I'll get to drink most of it lol)

Anyone have the twice barreled knob creek rye?

 

[ChaosRock]

Anyone have the twice barreled knob creek rye?

I do not, Bill. Although I'm a fan of the KC Barrel Strength Rye, it seems the twice barreled was not received too well by most. Taste is taste though, it's different for everyone.

Anyone that wants to sound off with some suggestions please do so!

Here we go...

The 9SBR 120 has the typical KC nuttiness and the higher proof amps up the taste. The 12 is a little less nutty and a tad sweeter, but is a little less flavorful. I'm guessing it's because of the lower proof. The 15LE is definitely more refined. It has less nuttiness, but really nice flavor due to a little more noticeable barrel char. The finish is long and delicious.

If anyone’s interested.

 

[CraigT78]

I’ve got one still unopened. I have a feeling it’s going to go towards the CC bill here soon. Hard to pass on selling a bottle for more than $100 over what you paid for it.

Dibs.

 

[CraigT78]

So I had to replenish the brown shelf after the last 6 months of Covid-19 quarantine.

 

[kmccormick100]

Finally picked one of these up after looking for a couple years. Not cheap, but less than 3x msrp at least lol, looking forward to finally trying it.

Another new pour tonight. This one I dig. Much more than the Bakers. Doesn’t seem too complex, but a nice strong flavor and a solid finish. For the price, might as well always keep one in the cabinet. Thanks for the recommendation @RocAFella1

I try bourbons other than the Wild Turkey lineup. For the same price, the Turkey products are almost always as good or better.

The Russel Reserve Single Barrel is even better than the regular.

I never used to take WT seriously. I always connected it with one of my hick friends who I used to go camping with in college. He used to slam that stuff and then fall asleep in his fold out chair way too close to the fire.

Give rare breed a try too, but russel’s 10y for <$30 is always a winner

When I was younger Early Times and Four Roses were both cheap blended whiskies, not even bourbons. Think along the lines of Kessler, cheap American blended whiskey. Now I see them popping up as bourbon and my initial reaction is they are probably lousy, but I’m wrong. I think the bourbon versions always existed but were not common in the eighties. I distinctly remember my dad winning a bottle of Four Roses blended whiskey in a bowling tournament and telling me it was a cheap low rate booze.

Phew! If you ever need to sell some of those samples in the background to fund your new bottles

I think I posted this in the wrong thread. Our starting table at OBX, minus my Jefferson's Ocean Voyage 17 that got drunk first, then me.
