Barrel char, tar, old leather, and tobacco hint at great age. It needs time to open up, but there is a lot going on. … Mature, complex, and sometimes skirting to the edge of its maturity, but all turns out well.

Product Description
Knob Creek 18 is unfiltered. We quality screen for barrel char pieces, but the rest we keep intact. It's part of what gives whiskey its strong flavor and refined character. It also means that in low temperatures you might see particles or a little cloudiness. We call this floc and haze, and it means your 100 proof is 100% as it should be.
