Knob Creek
Knob Creekb is good but not what I ordered. I received the single barrel select bourbon instead of single barrel reserve 9.

Smooth
One of my favorites. Hard to believe it’s 120 proof because it goes down like 80 proof.

Great whiskey and Service.
This little gem is very hard to come by. I’m glad barrel tap had it and the order arrived quickly and packaged very well. This single barrel reserve is MUCH better than fred noe hand select reserve bottles as you can truly taste the 120 proof in these as to where the fred noe selects it tastes more like 90 proof than 120. This price per bottle is very fair as well. These go for $ 270 at cask cartel 😱 Buy some while you are able to you won’t be sorry.
