Handcrafted in limited quantities, Knob Creek is aged nine years in newly charred oak barrels to fully draw out the natural sugars in its charred white oak barrels and obtain sweet vanilla flavors. As a result, this exceptional, full-bodied bourbon strikes the senses with a maple sugar aroma, distinctive sweetness, and rich, woody, caramel flavor with a long, smooth finish. Made at 100 proof and created to reflect the flavor, strength, care, and patience that defined pre-prohibition whiskey, Knob Creek is perfect straight or cooled slightly with one or two ice cubes.
