Knob Creek Single Barrel Bourbon Whiskey

Product Overview

This single-barrel bourbon uses a mash bill of 75% corn, 13% rye, and 12% malted barley, aged in new American white oak for rich depth. Retailers select specific barrels, creating unique expressions with notes of oak, fruit, and nuttiness that vary by pick. Priced around $40-50 for 750ml, it revives pre-Prohibition-style whiskey standards set by master distiller Booker Noe.

The bottle’s clear label highlights its Kentucky origin, single-barrel status, and exact proof, making it a standout on shelves.

Tasting Notes

Expect intense aromas of cherry, vanilla bean, black pepper, and dusty oak on the nose, mellowing after airing. The palate brings caramel, honey, cinnamon, orange zest, tobacco, and rye spice, balanced by a warm, lingering finish. High proof delivers a potent burn, but dilution reveals more fruit like dried cherries and prune.

Why It Stands Out

Knob Creek’s uneven Clermont climate and level-four char enhance vanilla and caramel flavors uncommon in mass-market bourbons. Reviewers praise its consistency across picks, addicting sweetness, and value as an easy high-proof sipper—even with ice. Ideal for sipping neat or in classic cocktails, it appeals to both novices and collectors seeking bold character.
