Knob Creek
Single Barrel Reserve Bourbon
(0.75l,
60%*)

Price
$61.99
Knob Creek is one of the special “small batch” brands of Beam-Suntory. Along with it’s sister labels — Booker’s, Baker’s, and Basil Hayden’s — it’s tailored to the more discriminating Bourbon-lover (and that means YOU). The Knob Creek brand was first launched in 1992, and since then they have changed very little — remaining dedicated to reproducing a pre-Prohibition Bourbon style experience. They keep their line-up limited to a handful of core products and special releases and they do all of them right, winning awards and turning heads.
We have to admit that Knob Creek is one of our go-to Bourbons — especially for cocktails. And Knob Creek Reserve Single Barrel Bourbon is everything we like about Knob Creek turned up to full volume. All Knob Creek Whiskeys are small batch, but where their “normal” Straight Bourbon is NAS and 50% ABV, the Reserve Single Barrel Bourbon is aged a full nine years and pops out at a blistering 60% ABV. Yes, as a true single barrel, there will be subtle differences from bottle to bottle (you gotta love that).
Smartass corner:
Knob Creek Reserve Single Barrel Bourbon was developed personally by Booker Noe — grandson of Jim Beam himself and the namesake of Booker’s Bourbon.

Nose / Aroma / Smell
The nose is powerful with sweet maple, vanilla, wood, and a bit of char.
Flavor / Taste / Palate
The palate is rich, deep, and complex with roasted pecan, more vanilla, and brown butter that balances the strength of the spirit.
Finish
The finish is long… longer… longest with a warm throat.

"Remember that iconic poster from World War II showing Rosie the Riveter as a patriotic American woman doing her part for the war effort? Well, hundreds of businesses did their part too, and the Bourbon distillers stepped right up with ‘em.
Distilleries all over Kentucky and Tennessee were re-tooled to distill fuel alcohol and ferment penicillin cultures to treat wounded soldiers."

J.B.'s father, Joseph W. Dant, invented a still made from a poplar log at 16, as he couldn't afford a copper still. Although crude, it worked exceptionally well!
Limestone Branch Distillery, which produces Yellowstone Bourbon, also makes Minor Case Bourbon and Bowling & Burch Gin.
Straight Bourbon must be matured for at least 2 years. If a bottle has no age statement, it’s at least 4 years old.
Pinhooking means purchasing and rearing a foal based on its pedigree and either selling it or turning it into a champ racing horse. The same idea is behind Pinhook Bourbon: they source young Whiskey to mature and blend it into a blue-ribbon sipping Bourbon.
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.
