Product description
Knob Creek is one of four bourbons that make up Jim Beam's original "Small Batch Collection" (debuted in 1992).
The whiskey is named for a farm about 30 minutes south of Bardstown where future President Abraham Lincoln spent his childhood. Knob Creek was the best-selling whiskey in the collection, and over the years the brand has expanded to include new editions of bourbon and a straight rye whiskey. The Knob Creek 12-year-old featured here debuted in 2019 as a “limited edition” and soon joined the core lineup. The bourbon is bottled at 100 proof, which is 50% abv.
