Knob Creek 12 Year Old: Is 12 yr old bourbon, too long or worth the wait?
Hey there, whiskey fanatics! It's time to kick back and dive into some serious bourbon business. Today on Wilderness and Whiskey, we're cracking open a bottle of Knob Creek 12 Year Old Bourbon Whiskey. This bad boy's been hanging out in barrels for a full dozen years, soaking up all that oaky goodness. We're gonna break down everything from its rich amber color to the bold flavors that'll smack your taste buds into next week.
Get ready for a rollercoaster ride of caramel, vanilla, and spice as we sip this liquid gold. We'll chat about how this 12-year stacks up against its younger siblings in the Knob Creek lineup and whether it's worth shelling out the extra cash for those extra years of aging. Plus, we'll throw in some killer cocktail ideas that'll make you the MVP of your next house party. Trust me, after this video, you'll be looking at Knob Creek in a whole new light - and probably eyeing your liquor cabinet with some serious intent.
Alright, bourbon buddies, spill the beans: What's the oldest whiskey you've ever tried, and was it worth the wait? Drop your boozy tales in the comments!

    The Benchmark Full Proof might be the most proof for least cost, and tastes like unsweet butterscotch to me, but did not make my rebuy list. 100 proof Old Grand-Dad and 100 proof Early Times blue top are on my rebuy list. Also for $31 on sale the Bernheim Original Wheat Whiskey, 90 proof aged 7 years. I go buy mostly how I feel the next few hours after 2 shots, also how I feel the next morning at 65 years old, measuring how well my liver gets along with each brand. Taste is a distant third for me.

    $39!? Heaven Hill does it again; take it off the shelf and bring it back at double the price. I said it before and I'll say it again, once the bourbon market normalizes I'll definitely remember which companies are fleecing their loyal customers (not fade chasers/ tators).

      @@WildernessandWhiskey When the masses move away from bourbon/whiskey again because it's what the "old people drink" what are all these distilleries gonna do with all their newly built and stocked warehouses? MGP, Heaven Hill, Barton, Buffalo Trace etc. etc. have just invested billions into expansion, but there are already signs that the trend is moving onto tequila. Like I said; I'm gonna remember who tried to take advantage of me for sure. In the same token I'm gonna remember who tried to look out for their loyal customers while still trying to innovate like Buffalo Trace, Brown-Foreman, & Maker's Mark.

    @jthomas0298 Місяць тому

    I dig the review. It seems many other reviewers would place this in the Solid Blue category. As bourbon enthusiast we tend to chase the new thinking it’s always hard to find when sometimes it’s just new/ limited temporarily to certain distribution markets. If we can keep this thought in mind, I’d hold off on the double blue rating. And how far have we come if a beginner’s bourbon is costing $50, smh. Can’t wait for the next video and keep the good time rolling

    • @WildernessandWhiskey
      @WildernessandWhiskey Місяць тому

      The cost of this and other bourbons is outrageous. I miss the pre Covid days of finding good bourbon for a good price. As for the rating, it’s at first sip… sometimes after it opens up, i feel like I could change it. Appreciate the honest comment and thanks for watching!
