Knob Creek Rye Whiskey was named after a little creek that runs just south of the distillery, the same creek that ran by Abraham Lincoln’s childhood home. Booker Noe, 6th generation Beam, and master distiller emeritus created Knob Creek to reflect the strength, flavor, care, and patience that defined pre-prohibition bourbon. The bottle embodies the handmade look and feel of the turn-of-the-century bourbon as well. It is reminiscent of a bootlegger’s flask with newspaper scrawled on the label, harkening back to the decade’s old custom of wrapping bottles in the newspaper at the distillery. Readily available at an affordable price, Knob Creek Rye Whisky is an easy choice when deciding on staple rye to stock for your home bar.
Golden to light amber. Spice, herbal with distinct rye character and nuances or strong aged wood. Distinct rye spiciness with vanilla undertones of strong aged wood. Warm, lingering spice. Made with a blend of the finest quality rye to create an extraordinarily smooth yet spicy finish, Knob Creek Rye Whiskey dares go where no Knob Creek has gone before.
