I pretty much buy any KC product when I find it, outside of the standard 9 year, because it is available everywhere. I did pass up the 12 yr this past weekend in order to get a barrel pick. Not sure which would have been better overall, but there was a $25 difference, so it was a no brainer.

@JD0124 3 ай бұрын

I've had/have all four of those (The Booker's I have presently is the "Storyteller" Batch - will that suffice?). Time to grab another Baker's and an OGD 114, and one of those nifty flight kits... and do my own blind flight! 4:53 LMAO! Matt, you are a hoot. I knew that OGD 114 was going to be the last place pour. How did I know? Because I've had the other three, and none of them are "harsh" or "grainy". Baker's is one of my favorites... I can get it here in the Los Angeles area for around $55 - $65. Totally worth it - and then some, IMO. But I agree... Knob Creek is one of the most consistent brands I've ever had. The 9 year, 12 year, and the one SiB I have had thus far have been solid.

However, I'll still grab a bottle of OGD 114 any time I can find it and be super happy with the smorgasbord of flavor for the insanely low price tag. I'd love to try a blind tasting of KCSB and OGD114, to see if my favorite still holds up.

I’ve bought two different bottles of Baker’s Single Barrel and there is something about them that just doesn’t make sense-but in a good way (mostly). I’ve also been not that impressed when I just pour a glass and sip it normally. But after giving each a few months and then blinding them against some of my best whiskies (including Bardstown Discovery Series 4, etc), they’ve won both times. Better nose, better palate… I don’t get it but I ain’t mad about it!

Thank Gawd they started doing Knob Creek store picks again. They had a hiatus on the program for a long time. The program is still great. It used to be the best deal in bourbon hands down. You could get 12-15 year bourbon with a 9 year age statement on the label. That isnt the case anymore but the smaller chains around me started carrying store picks again and they have all been great and under $60.

Agree 100%. OGD is good to have around for blends to spice up an otherwise flat bourbon. Add some Rare Breed and Russel’s 10 to Booker’s. The added age helps it a lot. And KC 9yr 120 proof is a great bourbon at a fantastic value.
