Knob Creek 'Small Batch' 9-Year-Old Bourbon opens with a nose that exudes a slight nuttiness, accompanied by notes of vanilla, light oak, and caramel, with hints of char and fresh marshmallows.

The flavors are well-balanced yet subtle, presenting a lighter mouthfeel that complements the depth of its character. The finish is marked by aged oak, vanilla, and leather, followed by a dash of black pepper and rye spice, with a lingering warmth that rounds out the experience.

The return of the 9-year age statement in 2020 reaffirms Knob CreekÕs commitment to delivering a bourbon of consistent quality and character.
