We are super excited to announce the arrival of not one but 2 different Single barrel Bourbons from Knob Creek. Why 2 at once you ask? We wanted to showcase just how all single barrels are not created equal with each one unique in its own right. A little bird also told us that these single barrels will not be as easy to get next year.

Both of these barrels were aged on the 5th floor of the same warehouse (W-L) only a week separates their age and both proofed at 120. That being said both are so wonderfully different from each other. For those not afraid to experiment, when blended together at home you will gain an entirely new perspective on how two incredible bourbons can not only stand alone and be great but create an entirely different experience when married together.

Barrel 1 we dipped in WHITE WAX to signify its huge vanilla presence. Bold up front baking spice and toffee make way to a BIG ending that is reminiscent of a vanilla beans soaked in a creme brûlée topped with subtle notes of dark stone fruit asking if they can join the party.

Barrel 2 just 6 days older than its sibling is dipped in RED WAX to signify its Big Bold smack you in the face with a bunch of Cherries flavor profile. On first sip you will notice a massive body with notes of caramel and slight bakers spice trying to make its way through what feels like an entire orchid of cherries! Juicy and robust the cherries dominate the mid palate but leave you with a finish of oatmeal cookies and slight cinnamon tingle having your tongue just begging for you to take the next sip.

50% White 50% Red= 100% Incredible! We were not kidding when we say mix these two together. A mixture of half white barrel and half red barrel gives you a burst of maple syrup, vanilla bean and stone fruit on the nose. The mouthfeel it creates is velvety and bold with an over the top knock out punch of bing cherry, vanilla & caramel leaving you with a spiced oatmeal cookie and dried cherry finish that lasts for days.

These will be the last 2 bottles in our infinity Redstone series with the 2 bottles making the last stone. For those that have collected all of the bottles in the series and are maked in our system you will automatically receive bonus entire in our Whiskey draft raffle.
