Quoted from PinDeLaPin:$40 is cheap. I passed on a bottle a week ago at $55 which seems to be the going rate around me
$38 for the Small Batch and $69 for the Straight Rye is what I paid before tax.

Quoted from swillie:Your right it’s really tasty stuff, delicious!! Huge step up from their base bourbon.
I'm always a bit hesitant to recommend things because everyones pallate is different. However, I've never had anyone not like it when I gave it to them.

That's a steal I would go back and buy all they had.
Quoted from Chisox:I prefer the 1920 but they’re both good. The 1910 is much sweeter-tastes like chocolate to me-so I only have one pour as a change up. 1920 has a more classic bourbon profile.
Off topic, but I see the boognish is strong with this one
Quoted from Md2020:Off topic, but I see the boognish is strong with this one
All hail boognish!
Quoted from Fulltilt:Thank you fellow Pinsider. Rock on!
chisox, this one is for you. It may never happen again.

The Stagg or using Solo cups? Great call buying another 2018, the 2019 is nowhere near last years.

LOL! The solo of course. I'll take another '18 anytime I can find one. (:
Quoted from ypurchn:First time seeing this in GA today.
Nice price too.
[quoted image]
WAAT??!!! That's a great price for a good whiskey. A good $10+ less than around here.
Pro:
NOSE
Dry corn, toffee, oak, vanilla Necco, citrus peels and Twizzlers with some bits of cocoa and mustiness.
PALATE
Oak, dried corn, citrus zest (tartness), toffee, cocoa powder, vanilla Necco and a light something that makes me thing of strawberry shortcake.
Me:
No Twizzlers or strawberry shortcake, but very drinkable. The vanilla and oak is strong with this one.

Lol. I’ve seen that one a few times. Is it worth the coin? I Love Bookers but haven’t justified the jump to this one yet. Convince me to do so

Buy it while you can at the low price if you like it, it was Whisky Advocate's Whisky of the Year so the hoarders and bottle flippers are gonna grab it all up to sell for $100+ on the secondary market. I had a bottle a few months ago, thought it was just ok and didn't plan on revisiting it.

Christmas Eve is coming... I'll report back.

Damn I wish I could find this on a local shelf, buy every damn bottle they have.
Quoted from PinDeLaPin:I told you guys about 4 months ago to buy this stuff its wonderful.[quoted image]
I only see the barrel proof Peerless in Ohio. Never had any of Peerless
Quoted from Green-Machine:I only see the barrel proof Peerless in Ohio. Never had any of Peerless
It is barrel strength
Quoted from PinDeLaPin:It is barrel strength
Ok thanks. I saw small batch in bottle and thought that is the name it goes by. I was looking on OHLQ and it did not have small batch as a choice
Quoted from Green-Machine:[quoted image]
$90 is $30 cheaper than I can get it for. It's really good stuff.
Quoted from Green-Machine:I’ll have to see if I can find it around here.
You will not be disappointed
Quoted from Fulltilt:For a humpday sample. One I haven't seen very often.
[quoted image]
I've seen it but have never pulled the trigger on it. Let us know if its a keeper or a bust.
Quoted from Jgel:Closest thing you get to a find around here. Happy to get it for $30[quoted image]
Never a bad day when you bring home a couple bottles of the Eagle!
Quoted from New_England:My first attempt at a fat washed bourbon. I’ll report back tomorrow on how it turned out.[quoted image]
Cool. What fat did you use bacon? Butter?

Now I've read about it... oh man, I may just have to try it too! Thanks!

Bacon and maple syrup old fashioneds are amazing.
Quoted from Fulltilt:++ on the Murray Hill.
Good to know. You know since your retired now that 23yr pappy bottle is just waiting to come out of the safe. Maybe a fee of us should schedule a road trip down to help you crack it open
Quoted from Chisox:Cool. What fat did you use bacon? Butter?
Quoted from Fulltilt:Now I've read about it... oh man, I may just have to try it too! Thanks!
I cooked up a pound of high quality, thick cut bacon on a low heat. Once done cooking I strained the fat through cheesecloth to pull out any of the extra bits. Then I mixed it with #14 Maple Bourbon, made by a local distillery. I did my best to emulsify the liquids by shaking it roughly for a good 15 minutes. Then I let it sit at room temperature for another hour or so to let it start to harden.
Right now it's sitting in my freezer to ensure that all the fats have completely solidified. When I get home today, I'll crack the fat puck on the top and strain out the liquid through a cheesecloth again. End result should pull all the fats entirely from the bourbon, but will leave the bacon taste behind.

If only there was " McCormick Bacon Extract" in the baking aisle, like lemon, vanilla, etc. Would save a ton of time and effort!
But seriously, if you are into craft/artisanal cocktails and don't want to pay $20-$25 per, there's no better place than home.
I wonder how a Knob Creek Smoked Maple (fat washed with maple bacon) old fashioned (using pure maple syrup as the sweetener, of course), with a lightly smoked water clear ice ball, with a candied stick of bacon for a stirrer would be?
Overkill?...probably!
Exuberant?...definitely!
An inefficient use of time and ingredients?...absolutely !
A hot mess?...likely!
Chances I'll give this one a try, because....America? 100%!

That certainly qualifies as a find, I don't think you can do much better for $29.99.
PA seems to get ER by the semi load. Its more difficult to find in Delaware and the price will be higher, even Stateline in MD has moved this to $39.99 and they are competitively priced on almost everything
My wife’s teaching aid gave her this as a Christmas present. Never heard of it but gave it a try tonight. I’m not one of those guys that can tell you that I smell “lightly use sweat socks with oak bark” but it had a good smell, it tasted a bit “spicy” and the burn was pretty light. It’s not a well aged bourbon (the claim was at least two years so I’m saying close to that aging) but overall not bad. No idea what the price would be normally as it was a gift but I’ll drink it.

I’ve had the smoked maple knob creek. It’s enjoyable, but a bit syrupy sweet and could be a higher proof.
I strained the bourbon through a cheesecloth tonight and I didn’t manage to get all of the particles out. I’m going to steal a coffee filter from work tomorrow and see if it helps clear it up a bit.
On the first taste I would say that there is a strong bacon taste. It goes well with the maple bourbon but it’s still a bit to sweet. I think next time I would go with a higher proof to help offset the other tastes. I wouldn’t drink this straight, but it would be great in a cocktail.
Also, got a call from my favorite liquor store owner. She let me know they got a case of each in stock and had reserved me one of each.
image (resized).jpgHere’s to my first night of a week’s vacation. 15 year Knob Creek Binny’s Kenwood Liquors store pick. Don’r sleep on KC 9-15 year. It took me a while to realize it’s some of the best readily available (and reasonably priced) whiskey out there. $45 for a 15 yr isn’t something you find too much anymore.
Edit: This is way too oaked for me, never mind lol. The 12 years are always great.

Quoted from egyptrus:No idea what the price would be normally as it was a gift but I’ll drink it.
And...it's gone. My wife and daughter are also bourbon drinkers so it doesn't take long for 3 people to polish off a 750ml bottle...
Quoted from Whysnow:never seen that one. sounds tasty
Thanks belong to @fulltilt for graciously sending me this months ago. I could easily down it in one session but I drink it sparingly. Very good stuff.
Tennessee Hills distillery is glad to ship to anyone that wants one! Just give them a call. Really nice folks.
