Knob Creek Single Barrel Select Eli Manning's 2025 Bold Pick, 60%

Price: 60 Issue: Summer 2025 Reviewer: Shane English Category: Bourbon/Tennessee Whiskey

This leads with salted caramel, apple pie, and butterscotch candies on the nose. It takes flight on the palate, with black pepper and toasted oak blending with chocolate-covered raisins and candied walnuts. The whiskey holds its proof well and water brings out a gentler pepperiness and more vanilla. The long finish is all chocolate and toasted oak. (Release date: 1/25)
