Knob Creek 12 Year Cask Strength: One Barrel or Ten Blended? β The Cut β S02E149
Knob Creek's new 12 Year Old Cask Strength ($90, no lottery) and Buffalo Trace's Elmer T. Lee 40th Anniversary ($99.99, lottery, 124.8-138.6 proof) both say "cask strength" β but one is ten barrels blended to 121.2 proof, the other is one barrel's own number, unblended. Same phrase, two different mechanics, and it changes how the bottle should be read. The retail detail β the where, the when and the numbers β isn't in this episode.
