Knob Creek 21 Year Old: The Oldest Expression in Beam History
A new benchmark for American whiskey has been set. Nestor Liquor, your preferred partner for historic and ultra-premium spirits, is honored to present the Knob Creek 21 Year Old Bourbon. This limited-edition 2025 release is a monumental achievement, marking the oldest whiskey ever bottled by the legendary James B. Beam Distilling Co.
This bourbon is a testament to the virtue of patience. For more than two decades, these hand-selected barrels rested in the Kentucky rackhouses, weathering the changing seasons and allowing the whiskey to evolve. The result is a liquid that has gained extraordinary depth, richness, and character, pushing the boundaries of bourbon maturation.
Crafted in the pre-Prohibition style that Knob Creek is famous for, this bourbon is believed to come from the classic Beam mashbill of 75% corn, 13% rye, and 12% malted barley. Bottling it at the signature 100 proof (50% ABV) perfectly balances the profound, aged-oak character with a rich, full-flavored experience, ensuring the 21 years of maturation shine without being overpowered by heat.
Tasting Notes:
Color: Deep, dark bronze.
Nose: A profound and complex aroma of seasoned oak, rich caramelized sugar, and a whisper of subtle smoke. As it opens, notes of aged leather, dark fruit, and toasted vanilla emerge.
Palate: A robust, full-bodied, and mature palate. Deep, bold caramel and charred oak notes lead, followed by a complex layer of dark fruit (cherry, plum), toasted pecan, and a hint of black pepper.
Finish: Exceptionally long and warming. The finish lingers with decadent notes of toffee, more charred oak, and rich vanilla bean.
Presented in a distinguished keepsake box, the Knob Creek 21 Year Old is a true collector's item and a milestone for one of bourbon's most iconic names. This is a rare opportunity to taste history.
As your trusted retailer, Nestor Liquor is your premier destination for this extraordinarily rare and limited release. Add a bottle of Knob Creek 21 Year Old to your collection and own a piece of American whiskey history.
