Knob Creek - 9yr old small batch bourbon bottle reference image

Appearance / Color

Aged Copper

Nose / Aroma / Smell

The aroma grabs you with vanilla, clove, cinnamon, and caramel corn.

Flavor / Taste / Palate

Taken neat the palate is strong and tingly… on the rocks it’s rich, smooth, and satisfying with notes of toffee, orange zest, and baking spices.

Finish

The finish is bright and long with cinnamon and brown butter.

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 it very little — remaining dedicated to reproducing a pre-Prohibition style Bourbon experience with a higher ABV that makes it a Bourbon-of-Choice for discriminating cocktail aficionados everywhere while winning awards and turning heads. Knob Creek 9 year-old Small Batch Bourbon is the core, bedrock platform upon which the Knob Creek Empire of Awesomeness sits. It is both refined and unpretentious. It knows what it is and is happy with what it sees. It’s aged nine full years and bottled at a muscular 50% ABV.
