Well, I haven't had any bourbon or anything stronger than Guinness in quite a while. I felt like I had cause to celebrate this weekend (birthday and graduation), so I headed out to the package store in search of something nice. I was thinking bourbon when I walked in and walked out with a bottle of Knob Creek. It was when I got home that I actually looked at the bottle to findout the proof. 100 proof! This was going to be fun.
My bourbon palate has atrophied after several years of not being used. But I did notice a sweet, vanilla, slightly peppery taste. The only down side was I was not ready for a triple digit proof bourbon, but it was well worth it. I'll be having some more this evening. Love the flavor!
Any advice for a guy returning to bourbon after several low proof years?
Thanks,
Sam
