Knob Creek Single Barrel Select is a 120-proof (60% ABV) Kentucky straight bourbon, and this barrel was hand-selected by The Bourbon Enthusiast. Every Single Barrel Select pick is aged a minimum of nine years and bottled non-chill filtered.
Knob Creek was created by legendary master distiller Booker Noe as part of the Small Batch Bourbon Collection in the early 1990s, to restore the standards of full-flavoured, pre-Prohibition style whiskey. The Single Barrel Select represents the truest expression of that vision.
Made at the Jim Beam distillery in Clermont, Kentucky, a nine-year single barrel at 120 proof is rich and bold, with deep caramel, toasted nuts and oak.
Barrel picks are bottled in limited numbers, and each one is unique, a favourite of bourbon lovers who like big, mature flavour.
Bourbon must be made in the United States from a mash of at least 51% corn and aged in new charred oak containers, and straight bourbon must be aged at least two years. Those rules give bourbon its characteristic sweetness, with caramel and vanilla drawn from the charred barrels.
