The story behind it

The maker

Knob Creek was introduced in 1992 by legendary Master Distiller Booker Noe as part of Jim Beam's Small Batch Collection. Named after the childhood home of Abraham Lincoln, the brand was created to restore the robust, full-flavored standards of pre-Prohibition whiskey.

How it is made

Distilled at the historic Jim Beam Distillery in Clermont, Kentucky, this whiskey pays homage to pre-Prohibition rye. It is aged patiently in deeply charred American oak barrels to extract maximum flavor and complexity.
