Key Specifications:

Selection: 'Beam Me Up' - Exclusive Nestor Liquor Pick
Mash Bill: Jim Beam's Low-Rye Mash Bill (75% Corn, 13% Rye, 12% Malted Barley)
Knob Creek was created in 1992 by the legendary Booker Noe, sixth-generation Master Distiller of the esteemed Jim Beam family. Booker envisioned a return to pre-Prohibition style whiskey—bourbon that was aged longer, bottled at a higher proof, and packed with big, bold flavors. As one of the original four members of the "Small Batch Bourbon Collection," Knob Creek set the standard for the premium bourbon category. The Single Barrel Select program takes Booker's vision a step further, allowing partners like Nestor Liquor to search the vast Beam warehouses for a single, perfect barrel that meets their exacting standards.
Tasting Notes: A Classic Profile, Amplified
While every single barrel is unique, a 9+ year old Knob Creek at 122.1 proof typically delivers a rich and decadent tasting experience:
Nose: A powerful bouquet of classic bourbon notes, including deep caramel, rich vanilla, and toasted nuts. The high proof reveals layers of brown sugar, aged oak, and a hint of leather.
Palate: A full-bodied and viscous mouthfeel bursting with flavor. Expect a wave of sweet caramel and vanilla toffee, balanced by robust oak tannins and classic "Beam funk." Notes of roasted peanuts, baking spice (cinnamon, nutmeg), and a touch of dark fruit add remarkable complexity.
Finish: The finish is exceptionally long, warm, and satisfying. The classic Kentucky hug lingers pleasantly, with evolving notes of sweet oak, black pepper, and a final, delightful hint of rich cocoa.
