Appearance / Color

Dark Amber

Nose / Aroma / Smell

The aromas follow the core maker’s mark with Cracker Jacks, cinnamon and clove, and vanilla.

Flavor / Taste / Palate

The flavor profile is powerful and deep, but very smooth with baking spices, whipped butter, red velvet cake, cinnamon, warm cream, and a warm spice.

Finish

The finish is long and exciting with notes of caramel sauce and warm baking spices.

Knob Creek’s signature Bourbon with a loud and proud age statement of twelve years. 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.
