Product description
Knob Creek is a 1992 creation of the legendary Booker Noe.
Originally a 9-year-old bourbon, included in Jim Beam's Small Batch collection.

It has won many prestigious awards and distinctions and in 2018 we have a cask strength version. This one, in turn, immediately received the title of "Best Rye Whiskey" at the World Spirits Competition in San Francisco. The second "batch" presented here contains whiskey distilled in 2010 and bottled at 63.5% abv.
