I"m no bourbon snob, by any means, but it amazes me how even bourbon snobs come back to Jim Beam. Of course Bean distilleries is an amazing corporation, turning out some really good whiskey in bulk, at reasonable prices.
Of course, The Knob is one of Beam's brands, and it's more whiskey than most people understand. Popularly priced, it seems to tower over other bourbons. Even Knob Creek Rye is better than some think it should be at the price point. Like these guys..
This evening, I finished the least short drams of a bottle o Maker's Mark, but I have a bottle of Knob Creek Rye in the barn. I may have to crack that one tomorrow evening.
Both the Knob Creek Rye and Bourbon are good at their price point.
ReplyDeleteThe 100 proof stuff even more so.
If you like maple infused bourbon, the Knob Creek Maple is sweet, smooth, and incredible, especially around a campfire way back in the wilderness at about 35 degrees while overlooking the Boundary Waters :-)
