I am usually a rye drinker, scotch from time to time, but I found my palate is not refined enough for scotch. KC has just enough alcohol to bring out big flavors for me and my poor pipe smokers tongue, add a little water and it starts to explode. KC Manhattan with a good vermouth is fantastic.

All bourbon comes out of the barrel at high proof. Having it at 50% just gives you more for your money. you can water down at home and make it 40% if that is your abv of choice. the 40% abv bourbon is just watered down bourbon, not better bourbon.

But, straight on straight it's simply too much to pay for if you're looking to sip a bourbon (which I enjoy doing from time to time).<br><br>Now, it's also important to note that I know people and have heard from people writing in to our shows that LOVE a potent burning spirit when sipping.

However, taken on the rocks (as suggested by Beam Distillery) and a small splash of club soda or water (which is usually needed to bring out the body of any economically priced bourbon) and this bourbon becomes a very easy sipping and flavorful drink with the alcohol burn being minimal. Knob Creek has become a favorite of mine due to its sweetness, dark color, stout oakness and smoothness. I enjoy sipping my corn. Great Website! OK, it's 100proof.
