Knob Creek 25th Anniversary Single Barrel (barreled 2/11/2004)

When the caramel train comes it rarely returns after such strong earthy notes of roots hay and soil. It’s the same story in the next round: first pan-fried sweet potatoes and parsnips dominate; caramel returns with vanilla allspice and white pepper. Then the odd but welcomed combo of campfire-smoked marshmallows and gingersnaps just before a long caramel finish. Very unique.
