Tasting Notes and Characteristics:

The first sip of Knob Creek 9Yr 750ml wraps you in a warm, caramel embrace, with bold notes of toasted oak and vanilla unfolding into hints of dried fruit and spice that linger long after the glass is set down. Crafted in the United States and bottled at a robust 50.00% ABV, this small batch bourbon delivers a rich, full-bodied experience that stands up beautifully alongside a perfectly seared steak or the creamy depth of smoked gouda. Each pour reveals layers of charred wood and sweet brown sugar, making it an ideal choice for those who appreciate classic American whiskey with complexity and character.

Producer Information: Jim Beam

Jim Beam traces its roots to the rolling hills of Clermont, Kentucky, where Jacob Beam sold his first barrel of whiskey in 1795, establishing a family legacy that would shape American bourbon for generations. The distillery’s commitment to using a proprietary strain of yeast since Prohibition and aging their bourbon in new charred oak barrels reflects a deep respect for traditional methods unique to the region’s limestone-rich water and climate. Beyond their flagship bourbon, Jim Beam produces notable spirits such as Knob Creek and Basil Hayden’s, each crafted with distinct mash bills and aging techniques that highlight Kentucky’s influence on small-batch whiskey production. Their portfolio also includes Old Crow and Booker’s, further cementing their status as a cornerstone in the American whiskey category while maintaining a focus on authenticity rooted in local heritage.
