This is the oldest Knob Creek yet, with a nose full of brown sugar, charred oak, caramel candy, and hints of spice. The taste has baking spices that build up slowly to a nice peak, along with touches of honey, vanilla, charred oak, and red apples. The finish has lingering spices and hints of tree fruits and dried flowers. (December, 2022)
