Knob Creek Eli Manning's Bold Pick Cask Strength Single Barrel (2026), 58.2%

Knob Creek has collaborated with former NFL star Eli Manning. Herbs, melted caramel, and strawberry shortcake are anchored by dry earthiness. The palate is smooth and layered, with coconut flakes, honeyed almonds, chocolate-frosted chocolate cake, and cherry tart, all balanced by jalapeño spice. The finish is long, with balanced sweetness and spice plus layers of lusciously rich flavors, while maintaining great balance despite its proof.
