    Sounds good and quick question for you or anyone else who has both. It will be a while before I get anything else but when I do would you recommend getting this or Bookers if the Bookers is only about $10 more?

    Kinda hard to say as they are both similar yet very different. Booker's is about 130 proof roughly so it's a bit stronger and it is also a little bit drier and oakier and doesn't focus on being as sweet. So it really depends on what you like best in a bourbon to decide which one. The Booker's had a bit more complexity and depth to it but at least this specific bottling I have of the Knob Creek has a really unique sweetness that I love.

    That knob creek really does have a neat sweetness both on the nose and palate. Very round character. I haven't had the bookers, but the knob creek is a pretty good buy at under $40.

    Nice! I will always have some Four Roses Small Batch in the bar, such a great bourbon and amazing price too. Easily be one of my handful of go to nightly pours. Plus it only seems to get a bit sweeter and more depth the longer the bottle has been open I have noticed.

    I had a couple of pours of this last weekend at a conference (free bourbon!!) It was very good, I will definitely grab a bottle.

    I bought it for Ice Fishing this past weekend and we put down about 1/2 the bottle as well as 1/2 a bottle of Elijah Craig. Both where really good especially when you take into account the price point. Around here they are both about $30.

    Yeah so far I haven't had one that didn't really impress me, very lucky and excited with these for sure! Hope some of my long winded ramblings have helped show what I get and General idea of some that may interest you. I always enjoy reading what others have to say about theirs, that's how I pick up names of ones I want to try.
