Overview

Small Batch Kentucky Straight Bourbon | Knob Creek
Clermont, Kentucky  ·  50% ABV / 100 Proof  ·  750ml  ·  9 Year Age Statement

Knob Creek 9 is a proper, full-flavoured bourbon built the old way. Aged a minimum of nine years in new charred American oak and bottled at 100 proof. Created in 1992 by Booker Noe as part of the original small batch movement, it was made to bring back a richer, pre-Prohibition style of Kentucky bourbon.

The result is rich oak, big caramel sweetness, and a long, warming finish that doesn't pull any punches. A solid step up from your usual shelf bottle and a benchmark for what aged Kentucky bourbon should taste like.

Tasting Notes

Nose - Rich caramel and vanilla with toasted oak, brown sugar, and a hint of dark fruit. Full and inviting.

Palate - Caramel and vanilla up front, layered with toasted oak, baking spice, and a touch of dark fruit. The 100 proof gives it real weight without being harsh.

Finish - Long and warming. Oak, spice, and sweetness fade slowly with a deep, woody close.

Distillery Information

Knob Creek was launched in 1992 as part of the Jim Beam Small Batch Bourbon Collection, created by sixth-generation master distiller Booker Noe. The brand takes its name from the creek that ran near Abraham Lincoln's boyhood home in Kentucky, a nod to the long history of bourbon making in the state.

It's distilled and aged at the James B. Beam Distilling Co. in Clermont, Kentucky, one of the most historic bourbon distilleries in the country. The 9 year age statement was a defining feature of the brand from day one. After being temporarily dropped during the bourbon boom, the age statement returned in 2020.

Why we curate it

Knob Creek 9 is one of those bottles that consistently overdelivers. Real age, proper proof, and the kind of full, rich flavour that bourbon is supposed to have. Solid step up from your usual bottle and a bloody good pour for the price. One worth having on hand.
