Product Information

Love bourbon? This Bourbon Salted Caramel Sauce is bound to be your new favorite ice cream topping. I also love it in Salted Caramel Bourbon Rice Crispy Treats for a grown-up twist on the classic childhood treat. Knob Creek whiskey is a product of Jim Beam Distillery with a profile that can be a little tough for other palates. I’ll repeat, though. This isn’t great bourbon. It’s serviceable bourbon, and it’s cheap, and it came in a freaking giant bottle that lasted me for a great deal of the past year. It made many Old Fashioneds, and I saluted its empty bottle like the grave of a comrade-in-arms. We went through a lot, together, me and my bottle of Knob Creek. Here’s to you, friend. The flagship Knob Creek 9 Year Old Bourbon has its rye spices, cedar and cherry more at the forefront in the nose than the 12 year, which has more vanilla, caramel and rich pastry notes forward. In the taste, the flavors overall are more intense in the 9 year and have mellowed in the 12 year. However, that is not to say that the 12 year is bland, not at all. The 12 Year Is A More Balanced Bourbon

Trust me, I’ve been trying to find fault with it because I don’t want it to be good and I don’t want enthusiasts to tater over it. But the truth is that it is worth the price. This might not mean that I rush out to buy one, but if I’m in a store looking for something special, have the money to spend that day and I see one of these, it’s a no brainer.

Knob Creek is a small-batch brand of bourbon whiskey that was created by Jim Beam master distiller Booker Noe to embody the look, feel and taste of pre-prohibition bourbon. When prohibition was lifted in 1933, the sudden demand for bourbon presented a dilemma for whiskey-makers as they had to contend with the difficulty of starting distillations from scratch while emerging in a new, competitive market. In the midst of a industry-wide rush to sell, barrels that had hardly been aged were utilised and quality was often the casualty. 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. That’s not to say we did it willingly. Most of us simply missed the amazing combination of oak and barrel flavors onto the sweet and nutty bourbon that they’re known for. I’ve had the 15-year red label edition that I’m reminiscing aboutand it was very good, excellent even. But a lot of us can’t fathom it being worth so much money after what we paid in the past. Knob Creek Price Range Knob Creek is distilled from mash bills. The brand also strictly follows a blend of nine-year-old whiskeys. It’s not hard for the weather to be too warm for me. With my love of all things fall, comes my extreme distaste for the heat, especially in October when all I want is to hang by my wood stove wrapped in a quilt. While I haven’t tasted this drink with a spiced cider yet, I can imagine that it would be delicious, too. For now, though, I’m awfully happy with my “plain” cider.Taken altogether, this is really a surprise hit for me. If you’re a person who says “well duh, it’s 18 years old” then I would say you don’t know bourbon that well. This many years in a barrel could mean a disaster for most products unless they’re carefully watched over. In 2017, Knob Creek celebrated its 25th anniversary, and did it big. Like, 300 versions of 120+ proof bourbon big. Wheated: A bourbon with a higher than normal percentage of mash bill made up of wheat (the main grain remains corn). This tends to produce a softer, less spicy whiskey. A typical 1.5-ounce glass of 80 proof bourbon is around 100 calories. But as the proof goes up so does the calorie count Since Knob Creek’s initial release, small batch bourbons are more widespread. Most major distilleries have a small batch product, such as the popular Four Roses Small Batch or Elijah Craig Small Batch. While Knob Creek delivers its own unique flavor profile compared to others, it’s also not one that stands out head and shoulders above the competition - or at least as much as it used to.
