Knob Creek Smoked Maple

Knob Creek750 ml45% ABV

Full-bodied Kentucky bourbon meets rich, sweet maple smoke

A robust, maple-infused Kentucky straight bourbon whiskey that balances heavy oak notes with smoky sweetness. It delivers a rich, full-bodied palate reminiscent of maple syrup backdropped by warm vanilla and charred wood.

The story behind it

The maker

Knob Creek was founded in 1992 by legendary Master Distiller Booker Noe as part of the Jim Beam Small Batch Collection. Named after the small creek that ran near Abraham Lincoln's childhood home, the brand helped restore pre-Prohibition standards of bold flavor and high proof to American whiskey.

How it is made

Distilled in Clermont, Kentucky, this expression utilizes the signature Knob Creek high-rye mash bill as its foundation. The liquid is then carefully finished with natural smoked maple flavor to honor the pioneering spirit of Booker Noe.
