Knob Creek® Bourbon is excited to announce a new, limited edition bourbon in its award-winning* portfolio, Knob Creek® 18 Year Old. Three decades ago, Booker Noe, grandson of Jim Beam and Sixth Generation Master Distiller, set out to define the standards for pre-prohibition style bourbon and introduced Knob Creek. Today, we honor his legacy with the most mature age statement to-date. This exceptional full-flavored product is aged twice as long as our flagship bourbon and bottled at 100 proof, offering a complex yet balanced liquid profile. Our bourbon owes its rich copper color and deep notes of caramelized oak to its extensive aging in our Kentucky rackhouses. This limited-edition release celebrates the 30th Anniversary of Knob Creek, a milestone measured by time, effort, and commitment to the never-ending pursuit of craft. Knob Creek upholds the highest principles of bourbon-making with lower proof distillation, rigid warehouse barrel selection, and patient maturation for full flavor extraction. Experience Knob Creek® 18 Year Old for yourself and raise a glass to the pursuit of craft.

THE HISTORY
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 our 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. Since then, Knob Creek has lived up to such standards with the introduction of Knob Creek® Straight Rye Whiskey in 2012. In recent years, Knob Creek has expanded its rye portfolio, introducing Knob Creek® Single Barrel Select Rye Whiskey (115 proof). In 2020, Knob Creek expanded its bourbon portfolio with the introduction of Knob Creek 12 Year Old Bourbon (100 proof), and a limited time release of Knob Creek 15 Year Old Bourbon (100 proof).
