Produced at the Jim Beam distillery in Clermont, Kentucky, Knob Creek follows a traditional mash bill heavy on corn with rye and malted barley, then matures in heavily charred new American oak barrels. The extended nine-year ageing period allows the spirit to draw deep caramel notes and vanilla complexity from the wood, while the higher proof preserves the whiskey’s full flavour intensity without dilution.

Nose: Rich aromas of toasted oak, caramel, and vanilla open immediately, followed by hints of baking spice, dark fruit, and a subtle nuttiness that speaks to its extended maturation.

Palate: The 50% ABV delivers a powerful yet balanced mouthfeel with waves of toffee, charred oak, and brown sugar, complemented by notes of dried apricot, cinnamon, and black pepper that build in intensity.

Finish: Long and warming with persistent oak tannins, lingering spice, and a sweet caramel undertone that gradually fades, leaving a satisfying dryness and subtle tobacco leaf character.

Enjoy Knob Creek 9yo Sb neat to appreciate its full complexity, or add a few drops of water to open up additional layers of fruit and spice.

This bourbon suits seasoned whiskey drinkers who appreciate high-proof expressions with traditional flavour profiles, and makes an excellent gift for collectors seeking quality American whiskey at an accessible price point.

A cornerstone bottle for any home bar that values classic bourbon character with enough depth to satisfy enthusiasts and enough approachability to welcome new fans to the category.
