Product Information

Straight Bourbon Whiskey: Bourbon that is stored in charred new oak for at least two years. It can be a blend of multiple straight bourbon whiskeys as long as they're all produced in the same state. Most bourbons are blended by mixing whiskey from different barrels together to achieve a particular flavor profile. A single barrel expression goes unblended, so tasting notes will differ from barrel to barrel. Knob Creek 18 Year Old: Introduced in 2022, the 100 proof bourbon is the company's oldest expression to date. [10]

Beam embraced it, running print ads that read, “Thanks for nothing,” handing out T-shirts referring to the “drought of 2009,” and sending journalists empty Knob Creek bottles. At the time, Fred Noe said in an interview that the company chose not to solve the shortage by using younger whiskies because it would be “compromising the product.” It’s as American as Abraham Lincoln.

Knob Creek is a small-batch brand of bourbon whiskey that was created by Jim Beam master distiller Booker Noe to embody the look, feel and taste of pre-prohibition bourbon. When prohibition was lifted in 1933, the sudden demand for bourbon presented a dilemma for whiskey-makers as they had to contend with the difficulty of starting distillations from scratch while emerging in a new, competitive market. In the midst of a industry-wide rush to sell, barrels that had hardly been aged were utilised and quality was often the casualty. A desire to recreate a style and standard of bourbon that existed prior to this state of affairs was the motivation for Noe to establish Knob Creek as a brand. Here are some of the tasting notes you can expect to experience when you take a sip of Knob Creek Bourbon: Aroma In my opinion, those looking to get an upgraded Jim Beam experience would do well to seek out the entry-level nine year old expression from Knob Creek.
