Knob Creek Blender’s Edition 01 Release Highlights

Knob Creek has announced the launch of Blender’s Edition, a new limited-edition series focused on the craft of whiskey blending.

Introduced by James B. Beam Distilling Co., the series is designed to highlight the role of blending in shaping flavor profiles across the brand’s portfolio.

Blender’s Edition 01 Highlights Sweeter Profile

The inaugural release, Blender’s Edition 01, was developed by Freddie Noe and a team of blenders who selected barrels to emphasize a sweeter side of Knob Creek’s traditional profile. The bourbon is described as delivering confectionery sweetness, a full mouthfeel, vanilla bean notes, and a long, soft finish.

Age, Proof, and Availability

Knob Creek Blender’s Edition 01 is aged a minimum of 10 years and bottled at 106 proof. The release is available nationwide in 750 mL bottles with a suggested retail price of $44.99, marking the first entry in what is planned as an ongoing series of blending-focused expressions.

Blending is the Focus

“The Blender’s Edition series is about slowing down and discovering the story each blend tells—with a unique and new experience in each edition of the series,” said Freddie Noe. “It is thanks to the passion and precision of our blending team who have uncovered the nuanced flavors you taste in Knob Creek® Blender’s Edition 01.”

Series Concept and Future Direction

According to the announcement, the Blender’s Edition series is intended to showcase the creativity and precision involved in blending, with each future release expected to explore different flavor profiles. The series aims to spotlight the role of blending teams in developing new expressions while maintaining the brand’s established identity.
