Member Reviews and Ratings of Knob Creek Patiently Aged Kentucky Straight Bourbon
Daniel
Daniel,
Works very well in an "Old Fashioned". It´s sweet and a bit spicy.
 
Emmanuel
Emmanuel,
Spicier than other and feisty but very enjoyable
 
Natalie
Natalie,
I agree with the other reviewers that say it’s not a drink to have neat. That said, it is excellent on the rocks or in a simple cocktail (I am loving this in an Old Fashioned!) This is probably going to be my go-to for a while.
 
Petra
Petra,
Nice round and mellow with a sting of alcohol still there. I dont usually sip bourbon but this might be the exception. Deffo one for cocktails as well, especially for those on the tart side to balance the flavor a tad.
 
Ddavid
Ddavid,
Regular evening sip o' Bourbon at the end of a long workday.
 
Luis
Luis,
Mature and earthy.
 
Gonzalo
Gonzalo,
It is an excellent bourbon.
 
Christopher
Christopher,
Great flavour and I have enjoyed sipping this a great deal
 
Andras
Andras,
Hot, alcohol forward, old wood, maple, etc
 
Amber
Amber,
A little on the spicy side for my taste.
 
Jonathan
Jonathan,
Harsh for me neat but very nice with coke which is my preferred way to drink bourbon Part of my first subscription batch
 
Chris
Chris,
Meh. Not bad (not four roses good)... the cork and wax frustrates me tbh... wax was solid and sharp... corks too small for the bottle. It’s the small things and if this was blow you out of the water, good... I’d be ok with that. But it’s average, and bottles shite.
 
Philipp
Philipp,
Very dry and „rough“ tasting. Not quite my favourite.
 
Alexander
Alexander,
A bit to sharp for my taste. Prefer my bourbons more well rounded. It fits better in an Old fashioned than in a whiskey sour, but there are better options out there as far as I'm concerned.
 
Stephen
Stephen,
Makes an excellent Old Fashioned
 
Keith
Keith,
This is my standard go to bourbon so far. But I joined this club to expand my horizons.
 
William
William,
excellent bourbon, love the aftermath of explosion in my mouth and lasting effect in my throat of smoothness and sweetness
 
Louis
Louis,
I really enjoyed this Bourbon, I starting liking the taste of Bourbon when I had a few whiskies that had been blended in Bourbon casks, I thought it really gave the whisky a wee edge to it. I decided to try a Bourbon on it's own & this was available by yourselves, I would recommend this Knob Creek to anyone who has never tried a Bourbon, or like myself have only tried it in a whisky.
 
Thomas
Thomas,
Pleasant nose of vanilla, caramel, maple. Sweet and pleasant taste at first but an overwhelming bitterness / burn taste sets in quickly, finish offers some more pleasant nuances but the underlying bitterness doesn't subside and is rather unpleasant to my palate. Not a very well-balanced bourbon. Would not recommend neat.
 
Carter
Carter,
Standard, nothing really stood out to me but something I’d use as a mix with my drinks to enhance flavor
 
Ken
Ken,
Solid but uninspiring if that’s not a stupid thing to say.
 
Robert
Robert,
First time trying it. Find a dash of water adds quite a lot to the taste.
 
Terrence
Terrence,
Sweet and smooth
 
Rachel
Rachel,
Really good base offering for this line. The 100 proof gives it complexity but it maintains a smooth finish.

Miguel
Miguel,
Strong but at the same time very easy to ingest. Love it.
 
Aaron
Aaron,
Maple and caramel sweetness to smell. Turns quickly to strong fruit and zest on the tongue. Finishes with spice and wood/nuttiness. My favorite of the star spangled tasting box in came in.
 
John
John,
My old go to 5 years or so back, couldn't go back to makers after this.
 
Andriy
Andriy,
Great stuff, especially from US ;)
 
Rene
Rene,
Strong and smooth.
 
Antti
Antti,
It is an outstanding, balanced, Straight Bourbon Whiskey with a rich & spicy birth; while a full & spicy life leads to a long & oily death with notes of char, cocoa, vanilla & brown butter.
 
Kevin
Kevin,
Mmmmm! Love the color of this bourbon and how smooth it goes down with a spice finish. Definitely a new home bar staple.
 
Cynthia
Cynthia,
Good rich tasting bourbon with lots of sweetness to it. Maple, caramel, and a lot of spice, and maybe a slightly bitter aftertaste. Very very strong to drink neat, and even with some water, it packs a punch. But it’s enjoyable.
 
Charles
Charles,
I liked it very much. I had it with a splash of water to take the initial burn off of it but, it was crisp and smooth with a hint of vanilla.
 
Matthew
Matthew,
Good bourbon, a little more burn than flavor at times, but overall good.
 
John
John,
Nice easy drinker.
 
Andrew
Andrew,
This is a classic that will definitely be enjoyed again.

Too spicy for me, but good bourbon.

Pat
Pat,
Love this bourbon. Great strong taste on ice and develops into a lovely sweet drink the longer its left. Also great in a Godfather.
 
Benjamin
Benjamin,
This is an incredibly smooth bourbon and the cinnamon & clove both really come through nicely without being overly spicy hot. For being slightly higher abv than most straight bourbons, the higher abv really doesn't show itself in the flavor.
 
Stefan
Stefan,
Excellent taste!
 
James
James,
High alcohol, very spicy
 
Nick
Nick,
Smooth and easy, full of flavor for a great price.
 
Matthew
Matthew,
Strong bourbon but not not memorable. Had to really think about the notes so no wow factor

Luis
Luis,
Good alternative bourbon - doesn’t approach the complexity of Blanton’s, but a good evening drink.
 
Dennis
Dennis,
It’s just OK. Seems to have an edge that’s less interesting than we prefer.
 
Shant
Shant,
Surprisingly delicious, pleasant aroma and smooth mouth feel. Nice flavor. This bourbon is a must have for any home bar. It is an absolutely delicious bourbon with a wonderful experience from start to finish.
 
Eric
Eric,
This is my go-to. It has great flavor on the front end, and enough burn on the back end to know that I'm drinking a good whiskey.
 
Matt
Matt,
I ask myself often now why I resisted drinking this awesome bourbon for so Long. I suppose just straight stubbornness! It’s strong, but full of spice and sweet. The smell is wonderful. I shall add this to my daily rotation!! 💯 😜🥃
 
Amanda
Amanda,
It's what got me I to whiskey, smooth

Strong but full of sweet corn
 
Christine
Christine,
Warm, brown sugar aroma. When sipping it neat, the 100 proof packs a punch and adds to the zing. The spice in the flavor was a little overpowering for me, but it's one of the first bourbons I've tried and I enjoyed it.
 
Erik
Erik,
Love me some knob creek , vanilla, sugar cookie, some licorice

My type of Bourbon. Still undecided between this and Four Roses SB as the favourite of the limited bourbons I’ve tried. Strong, unrelenting but also very rewarding. You feel the 50%

Single barrel is the best! Try it neat or with a splash of water.
