Knob Creek 18 Year Bourbon Whiskey 750ml
DescriptionKnob Creek 18 Year represents the absolute pinnacle of the brand's offerings, pushing their bold bourbon into ultra-aged territory rarely explored. This limited release showcases how Knob Creek's robust character evolves with nearly two decades of patient maturation, creating a bourbon that maintains its signature intensity while gaining extraordinary complexity. The result challenges preconceptions about how bold bourbon ages.
The nose is profound and multifaceted – the familiar Knob Creek power has transformed into something more refined, with deep aromas of aged leather, antique furniture, and tobacco leaf mingling with dark caramel, espresso, and dried fruits. The 18 years have mellowed the aggressive edges while amplifying complexity, creating notes of dark chocolate, exotic spices, and subtle floral undertones. On the palate, this ultra-aged expression delivers remarkable sophistication: the bold Knob Creek DNA remains but is wrapped in silky smoothness, with flavors of brown butter, fig jam, bitter chocolate, candied orange peel, and magnificently integrated oak creating a symphony of taste.
The 18-year aging creates Knob Creek's boldness refined to its ultimate expression. The finish is extraordinarily long and contemplative, with waves of flavor continuing to evolve minutes after the sip. This is bourbon for the most special occasions, when only the finest aged whiskey will suffice. Limited and allocated, Knob Creek 18 Year proves that even the boldest bourbon can age gracefully, delivering power and elegance in perfect harmony.
