For the price, in my opinion, Knob Creek Single Barrel Reserve 9 year is one of the best bourbons on the market. It is not overly hard to find. I frequently see it on the shelves in my area. It is a very smooth 120 proof bourbon that hits all of the deep, rich, classic bourbon notes I love. This is definitely one I always like to keep on the shelf at home. Certainly worth a try at $60 if you see it at your store.
You may also find Knob Creek Single Barrel Select bottles at your local store as well. All of those I have tried are similar to this one and worth a try as well. Walt Disney World Resorts normally have a bottle of Knob Creek Single Barrel Select available at many of their restaurants that is a fantastic pour. If you are at Disney resorts, I would highly recommend giving their barrel select a try.
