Knob Creek 9 Year Old 100 Proof Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey (2025) 1 Litre

When it comes to making Knob Creek Bourbon, there's a lot of waiting but hardly any sitting around. While each barrel patiently ages in white oak, our distillers continue to raise the standards, fulfilling their commitment to full flavor. The result? An unflinching balance of deep, pre-Prohibition-style bourbon with a robust oak taste, complemented with hints of smooth vanilla and layered caramel.

A nine-year-old high-rye bourbon from Knob Creek that was relaunched in 2021 with a brand new presentation and the return of the age statement. Aromas of toasted nuts, sweet cereals and oak spice fill the nose, complemented by notes of ripe fruit on the palate.

Like Booker’s, Beam does not chill-filter Knob Creek, so the whiskey has all of its inherent oils, adding to the texture and flavor of the Bourbon. It’s one of the richest and most decadent expressions in the company’s portfolio with caramel and sweet baking spices on the finish.

Knob Creek Small Batch Bourbon has been a mainstay of the Jim Beam family of Small Batch bourbons since the early 1990’s. Chances are high that every bourbon enthusiast has had a sip of this bottle at some point in their life.

It’s so ubiquitous in the scene that Jim Beam has elected not to really change much about it for fear of ruining its reputation. It still uses roughly the same bottle shape, bottling proof and age (more or less) throughout those 30+ years.

The finish is all business: aged oak, vanilla, and leather jump out front and are followed by a dash of black pepper and rye spice. A lingering oak and warming spice help to round things out. It's a simple, yet enjoyable way to end, and helps cap off the sip nicely

About Jim Beam

The Beam family (anglicised from the German surname Böhm in the 18th century) are the greatest dynasty in all of American distilling, with members involved in nearly every Kentucky distillery during the 20th century. Perhaps none more important however than James "Jim" Beauregard Beam, who rebuilt his family business following the repeal of Prohibition, re-opening the famous Clermont distillery in 1935. The company is now the best-selling bourbon brand in the world (due to Jack Daniel's refusing to be categorised as such). They operate two Kentucky distilleries, the eponymous Jim Beam in Clermont and the Booker Noe distillery in nearby Boston, and since their purchase of National Distillers in 1987 also have a wealth of historic brands under their banner. Since 2014 the company has been a subsidiary of Suntory in Japan, which has widened its portfolio into the Scotch and Japanese whisky industries as well.
