Can't get it up here north of the border but, through a wine distributer I am able to order a case. Would like to hear from someone who knows their stuff and has tried it before I order.

I love black licorice probably why I like BT although I get a more cinnamon note and longer finnish than Knob Creek. Honestly Knob Creek kinda bores me but I always grab a xmas gift box every year for the really nice collector glasses. [Reply]

Do you like a cinnamon fairly long finnish get BT though its not the best buy it once was with the price increase. If you like a bit more heat with definite alcohol taste Knob Creek 9 y.o at 100 proof is more that. The Christmas gift box es should be out soon Knob Creek is golden with nice bourbon glasses. At a few dollars more Russell's Reserve, Evan Williams Antique and Smooth Ambler Scout are very good and in stock in Price Chopper up North so probably other locations to. If you like the heat in your Bourbon Old Grand Dad 114 is in stock to and 30.00 bucks. I would take the Dad 114 over Knob Creek but thats just me. [Reply]

Not really a wrong choice, just a better one. If looking in that price point, Russell's Reserve (it's a 10 year) would be my choice. Have you had that?
At least you aren't drinking shitty Jack Daniels anymore Billay. Thank you and God bless. [Reply]

I found a bottle yesterday as well. First time in 3 years I’ve seen it on the shelf.
Also bought a bottle of Breckinridge Port Cask Finish. It’s nice. Almost has a bit of a Canadian flair to it, but still holds its Bourbon profile. [Reply]
This is the time to strike on bottles you normally dont see year round as xmas stock is filtering in. Price Chopper had 3 different bottles of Old Forester between 40 and 50 bucks I was salivating for but I had already picked out Angels Envy I wanted to try and a cheaper daily drinker Old Overholt Rye.

Not sure where you get cinnamon unless you get it from spiciness of the rye.
You are the only one I have ever heard say there isn’t a licorice. BT even says licorice is part of the finish.
