Proud and unique Bourbon

South of Louisville, in the heart of the ""wet"" county of Clermont, there's a legendary establishment you probably know: the Jim Beam distillery. In addition to its original Bourbons, JB also produces four first-class small batch brands, one of which is Knob Creek. It comes in rectangular bottles with a dark, golden-brown color that comes from years of hiding in barrels. It's a pre-prohibition style Whiskey, too, which means there ain't no cutting corners here. The Spirit takes its sweet time to inherit all the flavors from the oak.

This very bottle is special in many ways. First, it's a single barrel, which means each batch is a unique story with unequalled flavors. It's all about the proof (120 for this bad boy), the uneven climate (which brings richness), the char (ah, the vanilla and caramel!) and, naturally, the age. 2018 Hero's Share spent 13 years in its wooden home, which is evident in its full flavor. The second reason this expression is special (and that's where its name comes from) is the fact that it celebrates the brave US veterans.

Bourbon Is a ''new barrel Spirit'': One of the legal requirements for Bourbon is that it only be aged in brand new oak charred barrels.
Straight Bourbon must be matured for at least 2 years. If a bottle has no age statement, it’s at least 4 years old.
Whisky or Whiskey? The spelling differs geographically. In Scotland, Japan, and some other parts of the world, distilleries usually spell it Whisky; in Ireland and the USA, they spell it Whiskey.
Perhaps because of the family ties, when there was a serious fire at the Heaven Hill Distillery that seriously damaged production capacity, Jim Beam was one of two distilleries that graciously let their “friendly competitor” use some of their excess capacity, until repairs were completed.
Bourbon rules refer to manufacturing methods rather than location. Bourbon must be matured in new and charred American white oak casks for at least 2 years. If the bottle has no age statement, the Bourbon is at least 4 years old. No coloring or flavoring of any type is allowed, and the mash bill must contain at least 51% corn.
Jim Beam has recently allowed its signature Whiskey to be used in several food products, including Bar-B-Q sauces, steak sauces, and an increasing number of specialty foods.
