Knob Creek, nice choice. Just finished off a bottle about 2 weeks ago myself. Will probably try Jim Beam Black or Evan Williams Single Barrel next time.

Good Choice. It was Knob Creek that got me into small batch and single barrel bourbons about 10 year ago. Enjoy.

definitely will take a little getting used to. Incredible smell and taste though, one glass was more than enough for me.

This is probably as newbie of a bourbon question as possible, but are there any "tricks" to drinking it? Such as where it rests in your mouth when you take a drink?

You might want to cut it with a little water. I usually drink mine on the rocks. I'm not sure what kind of drinker you are, big sipper or not, smaller sips may help.

well I learned pretty quick that smaller sips were the way to go for me, cutting it with a little water may help until I adjust to not mixing it with anything. I'm generall a rum and splash of coke guy
