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

Product Information

Maker’s Mark was marketed in the US throughout the ’60s and the ‘70s with the slogan “it tastes expensive…and is. I also find it interesting that your previous review of this back in 2014 was a “must try” and now it’s a “not recommend” even though it’s the same stuff no better and no worse then in was in 2014. It earned the title of “Best Bourbon” at the 2013 International Wine and Spirits Competition and won a Gold Medal at the World Whisky Masters in 2017. Is Knob Creek today as good as it was a decade ago before it lost its age statement — now that it got its groove back? In general, whiskeys with an ABV ranging between 40%-45% are considered to be low-proof, while those with an ABV of 50% or more are considered to be leaning towards high-proof.

A desire to recreate a style and standard of bourbon that existed prior to this state of affairs was the motivation for Noe to establish Knob Creek as a brand.The different types of grain used in the production of whiskey can have a significant impact on the final product.

Evan Williams Bourbon is bright gold in color with aromas of caramel with hints of vanilla, oak and barley. It is aged for a minimum of six years in new American oak barrels before being bottled at its natural color.Knob Creek is a small batch bourbon produced by Jim Beam, distilled in a more traditional style and aged 9 nine years.

Regarded for its bold, rich, and full-bodied taste, the flagship bottle of Knob Creek is aged nine years and bottled at a strong 100-proof. The reason it’s limited is that Noe says you’re lucky if half the whiskey in the barrel remains after 15 years. Since its introduction in 1992, Knob Creek has stood as a reliable and high-grade bourbon — if a fairly sleepy brand.

Interestingly, Baker’s is now a single barrel bourbon, and the Small Batch Collection is now just an historical mention on the beamdistilling. Some of our partners may process your data as a part of their legitimate business interest without asking for consent. Without a doubt, Maker’s Mark is one of the best small-batch bourbon whiskeys on the market, making itself known without a lot of fuss. Then I found the Knob Creek 9 Year on sale and, partly due to the 120 proof, it rocketed into my top-10. So if you’re looking for a top-quality whiskey that won’t break the bank, Knob Creek 12 Year is definitely worth checking out.
