This Knob Creek Small batch is 100 proof, but there is something about it that just doesn’t go well with my palate. It has a burnt sugar flavor that turns me off, although I do like the hints of orange and heat that it brings.

Unfortunately, this Knob Creek just isn’t for me, and scores a 49/100 because of it.

Pros

• If you like Knob Creek I’ve got a bottle to share with you.

Cons:

• The burn sugar overpowered everything else and made this un-enjoyable for me.
