Butterscotch Jack. This Knob Creek Single Barrel, aged 14 Years, was picked on September 7, 2018.
This one has a special place in our hearts as it is a nod to one of our owners, Daniel’s great-grandfather. His name was Jack Sullivan. Jack was a good, kind-hearted man. He was born in 1899, and, when he was a young man, he worked for the Gibson in Cincinnati for quite many years. One of his jobs was to pick up barrels of whiskey from distilleries and bring them to the hotel to sell by the drink. Some of Daniel’s favorite childhood memories of Jack revolve around his belly laugh, his smoking pipe tobacco, and him always pulling a Werther’s Original candy from his pocket and offering it to young Daniel when he would visit. Jack kept his pipe tobacco in his shirt pocket, so that smell and the butterscotch taste are the two things that have always reminded Daniel of Jack. Jack embodied so many good things and left an indelible mark on Daniel’s life. His legacy is one of warmth, kindness, laughter, and we are proud and excited to dedicate this barrel to him.
