Knob Creek is a small batch bourbon produced by Jim Beam, distilled in a more traditional style and aged 9 nine years. It is named for the area in Kentucky where Abraham Lincoln grew up, it is said that the creek nearly claimed his life when he was swimming.
The nose is quite spicy and sweet. There are notes of melted salty butter on granary toast, there are notes of toasty oak and a touch of rye with caramel sweetness. The palate is quite peppy and full. There are notes of candy floss and nut oil, a touch of spice and dark chocolate, a little spice and charred oak. The finish is long with a touch of dryness, there are notes of nut oils and vanilla spice.
Beam has the barrels ; this bottle is at a great price point
One of my favorites . Love how smooth it is despite its ABV. First experienced KC at my brothers bachelor party years ago . Was impressed then, and I still enjoy it today. Love the finish! ~ Big Mike
Knob Creek is my favorite bourbon. True, it may not the first bourbon of choice for the new whiskey-drinker, but for a seasoned vet, it is a beautiful thing.
Excellent! Got it as a Christmas gift and it was love at first taste.
Very well done spirit with a 100 proof pop to give you a buzz while maintaining a great flavor with limited burn. Great notes of caramel and dried fruit and a great color. I add one or two drops of water just to open it up a bit and I recommend you let it breathe a minute or two before indulging.
