    Interesting poll... I would love to be able to vote but I've not tried Knob Creek yet. But after a quick google I found that my local "candy store" has three different ones.
    No1: https://www.danmurphys.com.au/produc...-bourbon-700ml
    No2: https://www.danmurphys.com.au/produc...-whiskey-700ml
    No3: https://www.danmurphys.com.au/produc...-bourbon-700ml

    I would like to know which one is up for vote....

    Or or maybe....hmmm and believe me I would 'absolutely' hate having to try all three....hmmm 'hate' to.....try all three.....love candy....

    I only knew because i blind tested them side by side, I think Makers tried to reverse engineer Knob Creek.
    Not sure they can knock them off, they are all under the same roof. Jim beam owns both brands. From what I have learned, it comes down to the positioning in the barn/warehouse for aging that drives all factors. For instance, my favorite is Knob Creek single cask Reserve, its 120 proof, the barrels that don't make the cut (either diluted or as they want you to think - the alcohol evaporated) is the Jim Beam Devils Cut at 90 proof.
    Either way the majority of the grain spirits are actually produced by a "factory" in Indiana!

    A great book on the subject is Bourbon Empire by Reid Mitenbuler

    I like me some Knob Creek, but I have not tasted Makers Mark 46 so I won't skew the voting

    Hey Mr. Bones ... I prefer Knob Creek over Makers 46 ... but frankly, Woodford Reserve is better than both .... and I'm really a Scotch drinker anyway

    Everyone has THEIR taste...I'm just a Makers fan, also like Bulleit. Bought a bottle of the 10 year Bulleit, it was good but in my opinion not worth the extra money, had a little more flavor as well as a bit more burn. Regardless of which you prefer over the other, you got two good bottles of bourbon to sip, so enjoy!
