US Small Batch Bourbon brand Knob Creek has announced the release of a limited-edition 18-Year-Old Bourbon that has been aged twice as long as its flagship bourbon and bottled at 100 proof.
Coincidimng with the 30th anniversary of the brand and its Small Batch Bourbon Collection, the new expression offers a complex, yet balanced, liquid with notes of caramelized oak and sweet vanilla with a warm finish. The unique flavour profile and rich copper colour are due to its mature age and demonstrates how great things take time and patience.
Three decades ago, Booker Noe, grandson of Jim Beam and Sixth Generation Master Distiller, set out to define the standards for pre-prohibition style bourbon by introducing Knob Creek to the world. Today, Knob Creek continues to honour his legacy by pushing the boundaries of the bourbon category, and this new, extra-aged and full-flavoured liquid reinforces the brand’s ongoing dedication and commitment to exceptional craftsmanship.
“As we celebrate 30 years of Knob Creek, it’s clear to me that Dad was ahead of his time in creating innovative expressions with big, bold flavours that defined pre-prohibition whiskey,” said Fred Noe, Booker Noe’s son and Seventh Generation Master Distiller. “This new 18-Year-Old liquid is a nod to his vision and commitment to quality and craftsmanship, and I know this is a whiskey he’d be proud to serve. I’m honoured to further his legacy with Knob Creek’s oldest and boldest expression yet.”
