Knob Creek 18 The BEST Jim Beam Product in Years?

[@EddieDNYC]

"...give me the poke". ADHD Whiskey is like the butt stuff of whiskey tube. Absolutely genius man, you're hysterical.

[@toshiisomura5758]

If ADHD whiskey is the butt stuff of youtube, then I want all the poke

[@kpmarine10]

Still so hilarious and so true.

[@the_snicklefritz]

“Oak is like the butt-stuff of bourbon…” I spit out my coffee and I wasn’t even drinking any 😂

[@matthew7469]

Matt! you had such a great opportunity to say "Orange BEAM sickle"

[@ADHDWhiskey]

😆😆

[@timvanderford2109]

Dude, I just found your channel. I’m hooked. To many guys on here too into themselves. You are like the butt stuff of whiskey reviews. And I’m all about it. I like it as long as I’m just watching it happen.

[@brennanduthu9578]

The amount of innuendos that Matt fits into most videos is truly astounding. Thumbs up for the butt stuff reference alone. Keep it up you round mound of whiskey throwdown!

[@jamesbullard4897]

When insurance rates food prices are doubling in price you gotta be out of your mind to pay that much for a bottle just give me a bottle of same old Moses for 40 dollars

[@travishuzl6717]

That’s awesome my birthday and your show anniversary share the same day, been watching since the Penelope barrel strength… keep up the good work

[@mixemyth]

I think I remember you outside the window of a motel I was staying. Thanks for the heads up about the box and the fun review.

[@bourbonbill]

I was a big fan of the 15 and I couldn’t wait to get this and I was not disappointed this stuff is delicious. It’s going to be in my top 10 for the year video

[@XirpEleswyr]

I'm old here, and i still appreciate you reminding me of your name. I forget sometimes.

[@anthonyspadavecchio2036]

Thanks Matt I really enjoy your show !!!!!

[@MitchGurowitz]

Thankfully I got one for 149 in NJ. Mine also came with the wood wedge so it doesn’t fall out the back.

[@messplaypc]

Just picked up the KC18 at an allocated drop at my local store right after watching this video. Cheers!

[@stevenb392]

Lmao!! Thanks so much for saying something!! Thanks for the PSA on the latch system for sure. Now let me make sure my blinds are closed...

[@bakeercrumble1899]

Great video Matt! Maybe you should include Calumet 16 in that blind bourbon skirmish, considering that you gave both the same 8.8 score...trying to get my hands on that KC 18 but until then Calumet 16 is the best I've tasted in 2022! Cheers!!

[@CSAN]

Great review as usual. A nice PSA about the latch and references to butt-stuff. Who could ask for more?

[@beerme8949]

Hellz yeah man! Got me stoked to open up mine!

[@dahjcha]

Got batch 1 last year based on your review and just picked up batch 2 today. Hoping for a repeat winner! Cheers Matt!

[@alanslavik3599]

Interesting no peanuts, lotta people find that on KC. Guess it got aged out. Excited for Wednesday bro!

[@evanbranscum6126]

I also really enjoy the past two Knob 15s. Looking forward to the Knob 18!

[@TheToddk74]

I agree w/u about Oak present & sweet at first crack. I tried it a week later & Oak was def more present, damn good. Great review Brother looking forward to 3yr Anniversary next wk. 🥃🥃🥃

[@timshaw5963]

Great review Matt! I had the same issue with the cork on my KC12!

[@skraegorn7317]

I took a tour of the Beam Distillery recently, they teased Knob Creek 20 year coming this year or next.

[@morebeer7673]

18 year old knob down the hatch.....😆 I'll have to hunt this down. Thanks for the review!

[@jeffreyrollins3915]

I liked the 15 as well. Looking for this one!

[@maltedbarleyman7834]

Great video once again Matt!! Hey can you make it a 4 way, and throw in the Calumet Farm 16?

[@MrGibsn1960]

Man. I missed the drop. I did however see some Dickel Tabasco that I had to give a thought...

[@darthsteve3145]

You are the best. I am in the same boat, gimme a poke of that delicious oak! Thanks for the content Matt!

[@WhiskeyWars]

Great review , Cheers Matt 🥃

[@tylerpage863]

I need to find some! Love me some Knob Creek 9 year, so I imagine I’ll like the 18

[@francisrizzo1529]

Part of me hopes to never see this on a store shelf, but part of me wants to find it (although I dread the idea of having to decide whether or not to spend more on gobble-the-knob-creek 18 than I did for a GTS)...

[@markwoerner4189]

I wasn't a big Knob Creek fan until I tried the 9 year old 120 proof barrel strength. Still looking for the 12 year old version as well as the 15 and 18 year olds.

[@gregmartin1757]

This hasn't hit the shelves by me yet but i am stoked to try this heard nothing but good things . You da man man

[@WhiskeyandSmoke]

I love your reviews!!!! Keep doing what you do Bro

[@MA-iq5nu]

Great review Matt! For your battle royale, can you add the Jacob’s well to the mix? Curious to see how that ranks up, thanks!

[@ADHDWhiskey]

If I had a bottle, I would

[@scottbaron121]

Big fan of the 15 year. Can't wait to try this one. Thanks Matt!

[@allenbt11]

Funny, I thought the KC15 was unbalanced with too much oak already. I cracked this one & you are absolutely right, the oak is back in balance. It absolutely makes you wonder what a KC21 would be like.

[@feistyalchemist3980]

100% correct, KC15 is at the oak limit, maybe past it, so I'm surprised that KC18 is less oaky than that.

[@tinahawn9966]

It just proves that it's always the batch and not the years that determines a good bourbon. 🥃

[@drolfharkness9644]

I did the same thing with a MM46 that comes in a box like that. I was so embarrassed that I inspected the bottle and bought it

[@jamesbullard4897]

I’d have to pick up part time job to try this one. I’m thinking!

[@davevogelsang6791]

One of my favorites is Knob Creek 12. Have not seen 15 or 18 in the wild, or one of them could be a favorite.

[@davidteller7681]

Holy sh*t, I actually found one! Went for Russell's 13 (gone), came home with Knob 18 (msrp)! A good day.

[@walterjohnson70]

Love your videos

[@sanchezjr13]

I'd love to see that blind 3 way bourbon skirmish you mentioned.

[@drewbowski]

That latch shit is absolutely crazy! Appreciate you pointing that out. That said, nobody will ever get this bottle. Secondary will be insane. Enjoy your bottle, sir. The majority will never stand a chance unless they pay a jacked up price for a slurp at some bar selling it at 400% retail.

[@ronbritner3236]

You're a hoot !!!! Funny and informative.

[@reevinriggin3570]

I am speechless, and that is sayin sumpin. There is too much great stuff, Matt. Well done.

[@NebFan06]

Awesome video!!

[@spencemiller5836]

Matt, I would love to see you do a collaboration with Daniel and Rex from the Whisk(e)y Tribe / Whisk(e)y Vault. You three would be hilarious together!!!

[@stanlee1857]

Oh I can't wait for that 3way

[@markhalley1140]

Saw this for $179 and thought, nope, not gonna do it. Then I saw your review… dammit, back to bowling green tomorrow.

[@OldFashionedWays]

oh this is on my hunting list this season. hope to get my hands on one. thanks for review. cheers.

[@whodey59]

Is it possible to put the bottle in the box backwards so the latch is in front?? Problem solved?

[@robmoore456]

I got lucky and came across a bottle of KC18, but mine has a wedge of wood that you also have to pull out once you lift up on the latch. I'm not going to try it but I don't think it would fall out.

[@ADHDWhiskey]

The wedge slides right out if tilted at all...mine does anyway

[@robmoore456]

@@ADHDWhiskey Your public service announcement is absolutely correct. I had to carefully test mine and sure enough it just slides right out... Thanks for the heads up and keep up the good work.

[@yFyre]

What did you do with the wood piece behind the latch?

[@ADHDWhiskey]

I put it back it. But it slides right out if you tilt the box

@@daddydog9275 I don't like 12 yr. 18 is the only KC I can tolerate. My wife loves them though.

[@jasonreynolds2254]

Wonder if that box will cause more breakage or the Barrell Grey & Gold boxes? If you fail to put your hand underneath it, the bottom just falls out and drops the bottle like metaphorical deuce!

[@ADHDWhiskey]

Oh no 😆

[@willow514]

Could have bought the KC18 but was worried because I tried the Elijah Craig 18 and didn’t really care for it, seemed overly oaky. Might have to see if I can still get the KC18.

[@yeatts134]

My new favorite channel for bourbon!!!!!!

[@jakeizlove]

Curios and would like to try some to see if it’s good enough to take priority over the many annual releases I’ve been waiting to spend money on.

[@mozecollins4322]

Knob Creek 18 year or Lucky Seven Proprietor 15 year? Both at MSRP.

[@terrencemcdermott5840]

Big question, how does it compare to the Calumet 16?!

[@ProficientEnough]

Curious how this compares to the Jacob's Well

Me too

This will win. Great review Matt

[@martineznelsonj]

Matt, What would think of that 18yr at 120proof?

[@davidhoward7691]

I own this bottle and many other expensive bottles. I never open them. I just drink WT101 and Early Times. The only expensive bottles I ever open to drink are Scotch whisky because you can taste the quality. Bourbon is much less nuanced.

[@MetroCollectablesandvlogs]

A store has one for $500 is this about right?

[@ikiruyamamoto1050]

Great review! It seems like a great bourbon, but my local liquor store is listing it for $400. HARD PASS!

[@jolkraeremeark6949]

Jesus, that's 20 bottles of WT 101!

[@ikiruyamamoto1050]

@@jolkraeremeark6949 It's the marketplace we live in and they want. I was watching the Japanese CEO of Beam Suntory on "Mad Money" (Jim Cramer) recently. The point he repeatedly emphasized through his weak English was they are focused on "premiumization" of their products. They love those big fat profit margins on any and all "premium" products they can get us to buy. As a capitalist, I understand it. As a whiskey person, I don't like it.

[@Systemaman]

Wow...

[@geoffseyon3264]

I had a pour of this at QBB in Mountain View, CA and thought it was a great intro to a meat-heavy dinner. So I picked up a bottle for $275 rather than spending $70 for four more pours.
