Knob Creek Small Batch 9 Year Old Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey, 700 Ml

Product Information

Nor would I describe myself as anything of a Knob Creek fanboy; it misses the mark on occasion, at least for my palate. Knob Creek is a small batch bourbon produced by Jim Beam, distilled in a more traditional style and aged 9 nine years. Knob Creek 18 Year Old: Introduced in 2022, the 100 proof bourbon is the company's oldest expression to date. This is but one of several excellent options for expanding a nascent whiskey enthusiast’s palate and consciousness. Named “Best Rye Whiskey” at the 2018 San Francisco World Spirits Competition, this liquid takes the rich and savory notes of our award-winning Knob Creek ® Cask Strength Rye Whiskey to the next level as an extra-aged, uncut and unfiltered* straight rye whiskey.

The palate is lively and rich with notes of candy floss and nut oil, as well as a hint of spice and dark chocolate and charred oak. Like the bourbon bearing its name, there’s not much of Knob Creek but what there is rewards your finding it. The General Wine Company is a family-owned and operated wine merchant in Liphook, Hampshire, England.Chances are high that every bourbon enthusiast has had a sip of this bottle at some point in their life. The Beverage Testing Institute rated it twice, giving it 90 points on one occasion and 91 points on another.

One of the younger Flor de Caña offerings, this 7 year old rum is perfectly primed for mixing into all your favourite rum cocktails. It’s a noticeable step up in terms of quality and flavor, in a way that might prompt further exploration. It still uses roughly the same bottle shape, bottling proof and age (more or less) throughout those 30+ years. This commitment not only helped Knob Creek overturn all the softer, milder, whiskeys on the market, it was also a major step toward making the small-batch whiskey movement what it is today. Maybe they’ve tried the entry-level offerings from a handful of the larger Kentucky distilleries and are looking to move up the range, but aren’t yet chasing the allocated bottles or limited editions.

Who closes his eyes and inhales the spicy aroma of Knob Creek Kentucky Straight Bourbon will immediately find himself surrounded by extensive fields and forests. The primary expression of the brand is its Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey, which was initially aged for nine years, but is now sold with no age statement. Knob Creek wouldn’t be an industry-wide darling if it tasted bad or didn’t have a palatable flavor profile, so it’s time for me to find out what exactly makes it so likable.
