Knob Creek was founded in 1992 by legendary Master Distiller Booker Noe as part of Jim Beam's Small Batch Collection, aiming to restore the robust, full-flavored style of pre-Prohibition whiskey. Named after the small creek that ran near Abraham Lincoln's childhood home in Kentucky, the brand has become a benchmark for high-quality, aged American whiskey.
Distilled and matured at the historic James B. Beam Distillery in Clermont, Kentucky, using deeply charred new American oak barrels. This cask strength expression is crafted in limited batches to showcase the raw power and unfiltered depth of the distillery's signature rye mash bill.
