About this deal

Part of the Jim Beam family, Knob Creek hearkens back to the day when all bourbon was small batch, and is made in pretty much the same way. Not dominant but recognizable is the vanilla, followed by a fresh fruity note that delights the palate. Nor would I describe myself as anything of a Knob Creek fanboy; it misses the mark on occasion, at least for my palate. Knob Creek is a perfect way, in my estimation, to establish a flavor benchmark to associate with Jim Beam, against which future whiskeys can be measured. Copper to medium amber in colour, it is a bold balance of deep, pre-Prohibition-style bourbon with a robust oak taste, complemented with hints of smooth vanilla and layered caramel.

I’ve been drinking KC9 for about 25 years, maybe to the point where it’s probably had too much influence on my palate.Created to represent whiskey before it was mass produced, Knob Creek embodies the look, feel and taste of pre-prohibition bourbon. You must be at least 18 years of age to purchase and receive wine and spirits in the United Kingdom. Here you can taste various fruits and forest aromas that give Knob Creek Kentucky Straight Bourbon fine details. However, you can also accept or reject further cookies at any time or specify which of these cookies you would like to agree to. my palate is by no means refined but I picked out the butter and clove along with the slightly dry finish.

The palate has elegant fine-grained tannins and an incredible texture that supports a lovely earthy, truffle-like complexity. Knob Creek is a small-batch brand of bourbon whiskey that was created by Jim Beam master distiller Booker Noe to embody the look, feel and taste of pre-prohibition bourbon. Maybe they’ve tried the entry-level offerings from a handful of the larger Kentucky distilleries and are looking to move up the range, but aren’t yet chasing the allocated bottles or limited editions.It’s a noticeable step up in terms of quality and flavor, in a way that might prompt further exploration. Dosage: 10g/1 Tasting Notes: Attractive bouquet, with youthful, delicate, creamy hints and touch of yeasty autolysis.
