Kindred Cocktails commented on 2/12/2017:

Renamed from Tender Knob to match source reference. Seems like a vulgar name, however.

noksagt commented on 2/12/2017:

Tenderloin and Nob Hill are adjacent neighborhoods in SF, the latter being affluent and the former being considerably less so. "Tender Nob" refers to the area between the two. The cocktail creator is based in SF and this uses both "affluent" cognac and "less affluent" Wild Turkey.

The double entendre is likely lost on nobody, but this is hardly "vulgar for vulgarity's sake".

Quite sweet and herbal. Okay, but sugar buries the base spirits without adequate counterbalance. There is some interesting herbal flavor but it is not matched with the rest.
