Full Details on Knob Creek 18 Year Old:
Knob Creek and the James B. Beam Distilling Co. have reintroduced Knob Creek 18 Year Old to their diverse and award-winning portfolio. Originally introduced in 2022, the extra-aged bourbon is back for a limited time.
Aged twice as long as Knob Creek’s flagship bourbon and bottled at 100 proof, the bourbon offers a complex, yet balanced profile. The bourbon owes its rich copper color and deep notes of caramelized oak to its extensive aging in rackhouses owned by James B. Beam Distilling Co.
At 18 years, this bourbon further demonstrates how great things take time and patience, living up to Sixth Generation Master Distiller Booker Noe’s intention when he first introduced Knob Creek to the world over three decades ago.
The History of Knob Creek:
Knob Creek has set the standard for super-premium whiskey for three decades by crafting extraordinary full-flavored bourbon with a rich taste. Knob Creek bourbons and ryes are patiently aged to perfection in new, maximum charred American Oak barrels to impart the biggest and fullest flavor on their whiskey. No matter the expression, Knob Creek is crafted without shortcuts and embodies the pre-Prohibition style that founding distiller Booker Noe created in 1992.
