Knob Creek 12 Year is a dark amber color with a touch of red. Heavy toffee aromas with charred undertones, matured tobacco, toasted coconut and dark chocolate. Upon tasting, there are bold and spicy overtones, leathered fruits, vanilla and caramelized wood. The finish offers warm smoky char notes with lingering heat.

Until now, most Knob Creek has been bottled at 9 years of age or younger for good reason: There’s no guarantee that bourbon will taste good after a dozen years in the barrel—let alone great. This one is richly complex from the start: York Peppermint Pattie, raisins, baking spice, dark chocolate-covered cherries, iced tea, and tobacco barn appear on the nose, followed by a chewy, full palate laden with cinnamon, allspice, and ginger, and perfectly balanced with sweet berry cobbler, chocolate ganache, and caramel. The finish goes on and on. Add in a fair price and excellent availability as part of Knob Creek’s core lineup, and only one question remains: What are you waiting for? —Susannah Skiver Barton
