Description
Knob Creek Smoked Maple Small Batch Kentucky Straight Bourbon is the venerable brands first foray into a flavored line. While there are a few different maple bourbons available by different distilleries, this is the first smoked maple bourbon that weve come across. It was released in honor of Booker Noe, who enjoyed not only distilling some of the first small batch bourbons, but pairing them with maple syrup, and meats he smoked himself!Like other bottles of Knob Creek, Smoked Maple Bourbon uses Kentucky limestone-filtered water, and is aged for nine years in deeply charred American white oak barrels to bring out bold flavors that harken back to the pre-Prohibition era. The maple syrup is added to the prized Knob Creek Small Batch after distillation is complete. Knob Creek Smoked Maple Small Batch Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey has an aroma of maple, smoke, oak, vanilla, leather, nutmeg, and roasted stone fruit. Its a bit weightier than their normal small batch bourbon, with a palate dominated by maple sugar and notes of smoked maplewood, followed by a drying woody finish that evolves into a lingering syrupy maple sweetness. Though this should probably be the last taste of the day due to its smokiness, Knob Creek Small Batch Smoked Maple shines in a cocktail or as an after dinner drink, and its equally well suited to a plate of pancakes, sausage, and bacon if thats more your style. No judgment here!Pick up your smoked maple bourbon today!
