Here's my KO B9 assessment.
1. It's the best bourbon I've ever had
2. The nose is like fresh cut grass if that grass smelled like blueberries, blackberry's and a pastry shop.
3. The palate is explosive, more dark berry's, oak, tobacco.
4. The finish is my favorite part, it lasts forever, i could still taste it an hour after I finished it. It's blackberries blueberries and cream, and a nice vanilla.
I licked my chops for an hour or so after to see if it was still there.
The finish and the nose are standouts with the finish being the most incredible experience in my bourbon journey BY FAR.
The stuff is thick, it sticks to the glass, oily indeed but that word doesn't do justice because oil runs, this literally forms beads of bourbon that don't run when you spin it in the glass.
I smelled the empty glass in the morning and to my surprise, it smells like tobacco smoke. In a big way. Normally I would not be so thrilled by that, but in this case I marvel at it.
This is an incredible bourbon.
Batch 10 just came out, and initial reviews confirm that while good, it's no where near the glory of the batch 9.
Absolutely amazing bourbon unlike anything else you will ever taste.
