📽 📽 IN THIS WEEK'S VIDEO: We compare two 12 year bourbons from legacy Kentucky distilleries in a completely double blind head-to-head tasting. Knob Creek 12 is fairly easy to find in most markets while 1792 Aged 12 Years is very difficult to find in almost every market. Is 1792 Aged 12 Years worth the hunt or is Knob Creek a suitable substitute?

Erin's nosing notes are one of my favorite parts of the channel... "Room temperature milk, but not in a bad way", is now a note I'm going to look for
Don't forget stinky feet...making it stinky feet in room temperature milk. Yikes!
Josh - you 10000000% nailed it on not expressing what you are guessing a bottle is - it totally detracts from the blind tasting. I've given that feedback to other channels as an improvement suggestion - well done!!
I, too, have given that same feedback to other channels about guessing. Several times.
There's another channel -- think they're the #2 channel out there now in terms of subscribers -- where the guy can't help himself from guessing. I've been watching that channel a lot less.
And to top it off, he usually guesses *wrong* ! It makes a savvy viewer skeptical about the validity of his tasting notes knowing that he's "guessing in his head" as he's going along.
This is the blind I’ve been waiting for anyone to do. Thanks!
The entire Knob Creek lineup is climbing up the ranks with me. Good proof, different age options, offering both rye and bourbons along with single barrels. I don't have enough experience with 1792, but I like what I have had. Good matchup. Cheers!
Knob 12 $48 bucks here and im buying it alllllll day. Never see the 1792
Damn, Skippy. That is less than I saw KC12 at Costco. I never hear of 1792 12 year either.
ive got a small stockpile of the kc cause i cant leave that store without buying one LOL@@Abby_Normal_1969
Must be from Western NY.
southern tier. @@jimmatthews6150
@jimmatthews6150 - nope. Arizona. I am curious why you said Western NY. 1972 not available in Western NY?
Knob is my favorite line. The 12 and 18 are neck n neck for me.
I had a super fun idea if you guys were making it to the Junkies Pours in the Park this year. Have a booth, have a blind sample. Have slips of paper and a big jar so everyone could guess what it was and their top 3 notes they were getting off it. Maybe small prizes like a hat or T shirt from Stuff and Whiskey if anyone guessed it, then take all the notes and put them in a word cloud, then you could discuss the word cloud on a later episode or hop on a live stream with Dan and Sean and break it down. I think it'd be fun and spread your channel a bit. Oh, also. Love the Knob 12 way more than the 1792. Never really understood what people loved 1792 for. Just super banana on the nose for me and meh on the palate. Cheers!
That would be awesome! Unfortunately we won't be able to make it to pours. It's back to school weekend for the kiddo and family comes first. They start school so early down here in TN. We hate to miss it!
It's definitely all about the enjoyment. Sip what makes you smile. 🥃❤️🥃
Treat yourself, trust yourself. I love it ✌️
So........do you think that had you tasted the 1792 before the KC, that your notes and rankings would be different?
The KC12 is definitely more widely available than the 1792 in my market. The entire KC lineup is much more available, whereas I really have a hard time finding anything other than 1792 SmB, and even that is somewhat hard to find. I do have a 1792 Full Proof store pick which is deliciously delicious, but thats about it........... I have more empty KC bottles in my recycle bin than I have 1792 bottles on my shelf. As a brand category and for availability, age stated, and price, the KC's just cant be topped. Cheers and once again a great review!
Great question. No, because during the mid-video break we take a lot of time to clear our palates and start with the second glass just in case the order in which we taste has a large influence. No matter which way we went on these two, they made each other worse. Really great question again and thanks for watching!
I commend you on avoiding guessing. Guessing is a pet peeve for me when watching blinds.
And you're in good company with your stance on guessing because you know who else feels the same? Minnick.
Exactly! Guessing defeats the entire purpose of the blind!
Nice review! I really enjoy all the Knob Creek especially the 12 & 18yr and I’ve had four store picks that have been fantastic! 1792 sm batch was a first of a few bottles when I started a year ago. I like the 1792 bottle in bond pretty much and the full proof is really nice!
I love the idea of whiskies being antagonistic or complementary to others. Since Josh mentioned a recipe for a home blend , I've been playing with some combos. Y'all could do a recipe spot 😂. Btw, Frey ranch rye 60% and Heaven Hill 40% was yummy. Cheers
I LOVE Knob Creek 12yr, but had a devil of a time finding it... until it showed up in Target for about $60, at which point I promptly bought the two bottles on the shelf!
I also lucked into a dusty 1792 12yr for about $50 at a small mom & pop liquor store, but don't like it as much - similar tasting notes as what you all came up with.
I was wondering why I was having de ja vu, and then remembered this was the video you were editing on your Patreon drop-in livestream. 😁👍 It was fun watching Erin scold you the second time too...vice versa 😂
We both know I deserved it twice. 😂😂
I’ve been digging KC12 and its sibling Baker’s a lot the last few months. I’ve never been a 1792 fan thru the regular, a FP pick, a BiB pick, and the current BiB that I am actually enjoying,
I love Knob 12. I have a 1792 12 that I liked but revisiting it after a couple of months I found it to be much harsher than it was.
Right on! You just created my Friday night blind but from memory the KC 12 has a nice balance of sweet and oak but the 1792 was over-oaked for me. Both product lines are fantastic values in the current market with 1792 FP being the best IMO. And I never mentioned this but I love your methodology... I do blinds on a regular basis and have to fight the fact that I recognize the flavors of each most times... I need to set myself up like that.
Double blind is definitely the way to go! It’s a lot more work but worth it. The reveals are so much more fun when you don’t have a clue what you were sipping.
Makes me want to sip a KC12. I know what I will sample tonight. Thanks.
KC12 is one of those, good all the time, best value for the age. One of my goto Bourbons! You two always do an entertaining show. Thanks!
That's so funny I've had that same experience where you tried two different whiskeys and they're good on their own but when you drink them next to each other or following each other they taste not so good
I recently got a Sam's Club store pick of Knob Creek 120 proof for $44....it's absolutely beautiful as well.... Can't beat that price!
KC 12 is $65-$75 in western Colorado.... I think a great value. Tastes beautiful!
Knob 12 is an amazing value. Also, it’s soooo hard to blind whiskey and not try and figure out what it is lol.
It’s a mind shift for sure. We enjoy not guessing. It’s more fun during the reveal.
New to your channel. Love what you do! I am wondering if you have done, or will do any Japanese whiskey tastings?
Thanks for tuning in! We had a series of videos that are compiled into a playlist called Wildcard Wednesdays and several Japanese whiskies came up within that series. We'd love to add that series back into the channel content rotation but a fourth video a week is a bit too much editing and drinking with our family and work schedules. We have dabbled with the idea of incorporating international blind samples into our Pours Unknown blind pool for Monday videos though, so it's a possibility.
Love me some Knob Creek. My wife surprised me with a trip and concert in Nashville in March. I'm planning on going a Nashville Barrel Co tour, any other tours or bars to visit?
There's a document for that! Check out www.bit.ly/swnashvilleguide
Y'all are bumming me out a bit with the lukewarm review for these two. I really love the 1792 Aged 12, and while I haven't run into a Knob Creek 12 yet, the 9 year is my go-to and always in the cabinet. But I don't stay bummed long. Love the channel. Cheers!
Thanks for watching Bill!
Great matchup. I have the knob creek 12 year for a lower price of 54.99 and I have seen it for as low as 44.99 in NY. I have never seen the 1792 12 year in the wild though. The KC 12 is a great pour. I have also had the rest of their lineup, although the standard KC 9 is lackluster to me (the 9 at 120 proof is another matter). As for Barton, Ive had their single barrel and some of the offshoots (Calumet, Lucky 7, Sam Houston) and they have been delicious as well. If I see a 12 year 1792, near its MSRP, I will pick one up. In the meantime, that Knob creek 12 is where it is at.
We've been hearing that KC12 prices are dropping like crazy. At the $45-50 we've been hearing it at, it's pretty much a slam dunk two thumbs up bottle.
@@stuffandwhiskey,
I'm in a good-sized city and have never seen KC12 on a shelf. The one time I did run across it was in a small shop, behind the counter, sitting alongside the allocated, priced at $79.
Bought 2 bottles of KC12 (one of my fav pours)for $49 ea, up in buffalo ny, seen 1792 12yr for $150......😬😬😬😬
I’m new to bourbon and there are only 3 that I REALLY like and can drink every day, pipe dream, OF 1910 and WR double oaked. Any other recommendations you may think I’ll like based off those 3? Thanks in advance!!
Michter's US*1 Small Batch would be a great one to try in the same proof range. 1910 and WRDO are really two cream of the crop 90ish proof bourbons though so you're going to be hard pressed to find anything better--it'll just be different. We'd suggest working your way up the proof ladder a bit and trying some fuller flavored pours in the 100-110 proof range that will pack the flavor concentration of 1910 and WRDO with a longer finish and fuller body. Keep an eye out for anything double barreled too as you seem to like that note (and we do too).
First and most important question: Are those Glen trays one piece?
Now I have enjoyed your channel for a long time but I think it's unfair that you guys get to try all this excellent whisky but we don't. Therefore I think you should send out samples so we can join in the fun. Vice-a versa, when we send you samples we should send enough for sharing.
Between the two, if I had to pick I'd buy the 1792 first.
Great question on the glen tray! Yep, one piece made by friends of ours. We love them!
I certainly prefer the Knob Creek 12 yr over 1792. But for my money I'll take the store pick 120 proof bottles. These tend to run a little cheaper ~$55 and 9+ years old, much better deal than 1792 FP.
Big fan of KC 12. The only 1792 I've tasted is the Small Batch and it's meh for me.
I like many cheap whiskies and vice-uh vers-uh.😂
Corrects Vice a Versa, says Y’all
This was a mismatch. 1792 12 is very good but Knob Creek 12 is just phenomenal for $70 for me here in NC.
KC 12 is a hard find in Central California at msrp.
We hear ya. It’s hard to find at all in Nashville, TN. Sits on shelves and goes on sale in other markets. Distribution is a crazy thing.
Video link in description says it’s private. The 9 vs 12 year
Strange. Either way, it was last Thursday's video in our feed so you won't have to dig far to find it. Sorry about the link not working!
Thank you. I am not able to find the video. I try to watch all of y’all’s videos. Great stuff
You beat me to this. Been trying to complete a 12yr mini tourney. I finally obtained my last desired bottle to enter the single blind tourney. 1792 12yr vs Knob Creek 12yr vs Weller 12yr vs Wild Turkey 12yr vs Evan Williams 12 vs Black Saddle 12. Winner faces Jack Daniel’s 12 for the crown!
Calling WT101/12 vs JD12 and a JD victory, but you never know on any given day. That’ll be a super fun blind!
@@stuffandwhiskey I haven’t had Evan Williams 12 yet but WT 101 12yr is also my expected favorite to win. I’ll let you know what happens.
At the end of your tastings before you disclose what each bottle is. Then you should say what you think it might be.
Guessing defeats the point of blinds for us. Even thinking of what it could be immediately imparts inherent bias. It’s fun to guess for sure, but we’d rather remain as impartial and unbiased as possible to give viewers the most honest review.
I’m not disagreeing but if you wait to make a guess until right before you look on your phone to see what it really is shouldn’t cause harm? By that point in the video you’ve already given it a thumbs up or down based on price and taste. Guessing at that moment wouldn’t affect anything going forward? Maybe I’m missing something and need to watch more videos 😂
Knob Creek 12 is $50 at our Costco.
I've been learned by people that supposebly it's vice-a-versa. 😊
Rebecca you're going to give Erin an aneurism! 😂
Well you did say nuttiness and we all know that tracks with Knob Creek products.
Ok, here's a question for the next Q and A, Other than "Vice-a versa", what pet peeves do you guys have? Any whiskey pet peeves?
Recording a Q&A today for quite a while down the road (April) but this is a great question and we're definitely answering it!
I am no expert in a dead language, but wouldn't it be visa versa if the subject was feminine? Bourbon didn't exist in 121 BC, but in the modern Era I refer to whiskey as "she". Then again, I refer to pocket knives and fixed blades as "she" as well, so what the heck do I know about feminine nature?!?
To be fair, feminine nature is one of those universal mysteries that we’ll never fully understand. 😂
@@stuffandwhiskey Reminds me of this. 🙂 A young man was walking along one of Southern California's sandy beaches with his surf board. He suddenly spots this bottle which has recently washed up on the beach. It's obvious it's been tossed around for a long time. He picks up the bottle and notices that it still has the cork intact. So, being curious as to what may be inside, he manages to get the cork out and out pops a Genie.
After expressing profound appreciation for having been let out of the bottle, the Genie grants his benefactor the classic, "one wish" and it will be yours. Being an avid surfer, it doesn't take him long to say,
"I've always wanted to surf Hawaii, but I get seasick on ships and I'm afraid to fly. Would you build me a bridge to Hawaii?"
The Genie replies:
"Do you know what you are asking for? Do you know how long the bridge would have to be? Think of the enormous challenges for that kind of undertaking. The supports required to reach the bottom of the Pacific! The concrete and steel it would take! It will nearly exhaust several natural resources. And the maintenance of that bridge! No, think of another wish."
The man said OK and tried to think of a really good wish. Finally, he said,
"I wish that I could understand women ... know how they feel inside and what they're thinking when they give me the silent treatment ... know why they're crying, know what they really want when they say nothing ... know how to make them truly happy ... I really want to understand women and how they think!"
After a long sigh, the Genie responds:
"Would you like that bridge with two lanes or four?"
