2023 Vintage. 545/1260. Aroma is mellow Knob Creek and caramel malts.
Flavor is it warm melted caramel mixed with Knob Creek bourbon with a mild trace of spice. ABB is nicely hidden. This is excellent.

Bottle shared with membership group. Dark brown with almost no ring of head, light viscosity, no lacing. Aroma is well balanced bourbon, caramel. Taste is well balanced strong bourbon, caramel. Velvety smooth, medium bodied, soft carbonation, finish as taste. Not complex but well balanced and comforting. Wonderful palate. Holy hell--14.5%?!

500mL bottled 6/15/23, #545/1260, drunk 7/25/25.
Lighter than typical. Dark amber with ruby hues. Small, greige head.
Sweet bourbon, with light cherry and light vanilla. No aggressivity, no alcohol, no excess sugar. Just so mellow and rounded and yet nicely aromatic.
Rich bourbon with cherry, vanilla, and long caramel. Big spice on the finish with good "antique"-like whiskey character (spicy, woody, rounded, deep). Lingering cherry-vanilla and sweet bourbon. Just a touch, touch sweeter than I'd prefer, ideally. No alcohol whatsoever.
