    knob creek barrel pick 7716 (86)How it tastes: This is a sweet barrel.  It’s heavy with vanilla on the front of the palate with strong cinnamon and cloves on the mid palate giving way to oak on the medium to long finish.  In short, it’s really tasty.

    @SippnCorn:  “…fantastic mouthfeel w/out the raw heat I often find in KC120… Makes paying for 2001 hard to explain.  Sweeter than most KC.  I’m going to need more of this”

    Bottom of the Barrel Bourbon:  “Overall, this is a fantastic private barrel pick of what is always a great bottle. It’s well worth the ~$45 price tag. Get it before it’s gone, it’s spooky good!”
