Mr. K's Store Picks

Age Statement: 8 years & 3 Months Clocking in at 125 Proof

We were one of the lucky few to have an opportunity to select 1 out of 4 barrels that were allocated in Southern California. Proof: Battle-in-Bond (100) Style: Rye Barrel Number: 8027845 Barreled: 04/24/2018 Rickhouse A/Floor 6

As you already know we rejected 3 previous barrel picks from Elijah Craig and waited 6 more months to get the pick that fits our profile. Also, a huge shoutout to Dram Code for assisting us on this barrel. Hope you enjoy this barrel pick as much as we did. Cheers!

Warehouse: P/ Floor 05/ Rick 31 If you like the smell of the Rickhouse, this is it. This pick is exactly what a bourbon should be. This barrel has been sitting in Kentucky rickhouses for 10 years 1 months 14 days. This barrel had our name written all over it. One of the main profile that I always get from Knob Creek is nuttiness, almost like smelling an inner core of a peanut shell, wood, tobacco, and leather. This 10 years old bourbon clocks in at 120 proof yet drinks easy and not afraid to show its character. Taste of caramel, sweet corn, toffee, brown sugar, spices and cinnamon as it sits in your mouth. Reminds me of red hot candies dipped in caramel. Finishes with sweetness and leaves behind leather and tobacco notes with long finish. In the future i will be requesting more barrels from this exact same floor & rickhouse. Please give your rating and thought when you try this bottle. Much love. Cheers!
