Knob Creek 9-Year Kentucky Whiskey

Knob Creek is a bourbon produced by the Jim Beam distillery in Clermont, Kentucky. It is part of Jim Beam's line of small-batch bourbons tapping into the high-end liquor market. Its siblings in the line are Booker's, Baker's, and Basil Hayden's.

It is bottled at 100 proof (higher than the standard 80) and aged for 9 years. It comes in a rectangular bottle with a corked and wax-sealed top. The bottle itself is reminiscent of the older style whiskey flasks. The wrapper is also a reminder of days past when the distiller would wrap the bottles in newspaper before shipping. The bourbon itself has a dark, golden-brown color and has earned a popular place in American consumption. The flavor is fairly distinct due to its light sweetness. According to the Small Batch company, this is due the long aging process, during which it absorbs more sugar than usual. It is aged near the center of the rackhouse due to the warmer temperatures which are needed to produce a higher quality bourbon. Like most bourbons, it is commonly drunk straight/neat, over ice, or mixed with cola, water, or other mixers. 750ml
