You will not be able to complete your purchase of spirit/liquor products if you enter a PO Box or are in one of those locations. I would like to hope everyone has a bourbon that can do that for them, but Knob Creek Small Batch is mine.

It is a pet peeve of mine to spend mid 30 to mid 40ish for a bottle of bourbon that tastes like lighter fluid at worst and mediocre at best ! I know I didn’t put this in the review, but I had a chance to sample a NAS Knob Creek Small Batch from 2018 and I could barely find any difference between the two. Sazerac made moves to remove Eagle Rare’s 10 year age statement (by putting it on the rear label temporarily) and demoted Very Old Barton 6 Year Old Bottled in Bond to an NAS, 100 proof version. 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. In my opinion, those looking to get an upgraded Jim Beam experience would do well to seek out the entry-level nine year old expression from Knob Creek.And we finish by meticulously aging our whiskey in white oak barrels with maximum char, for an unmistakable richness and signature sweetness. Frank took a look at the 15 year old, while David considered the oldest of the Knob Creek siblings, the 18 year old. There are notes of candy floss and nut oil, a touch of spice and dark chocolate, a little spice and charred oak. Knob Creek was launched in 1992, under the direction of Booker Noe, who is the grandson of Jim Beam. The General Wine Company sources wines from all over the world, but with a particular focus on small, independent producers.

Comments: The current cuvee is based on the 2008 vintage with 14% reserve wines from 2000, 2001, 2002, 2004, 2005. Knob Creek is a bourbon produced by the Jim Beam distillery in Clermont, Kentucky and is one of their small batch Bourbons.The Beverage Testing Institute rated it twice, giving it 90 points on one occasion and 91 points on another. Knob Creek was aged for nine years until late 2016, when Beam Suntory removed the age statement from the label due to tight inventory that could not be guaranteed to be aged the full nine years. Thus far Knob Creek SB 9 yo has outscored 4 roses SB, Old Forester 100 proof, Larceny 92 proof, and one of my favs Russells SB 110 proof.
