Knob Creek Bourbon 100 proof

Hand-bottled in limited quantity for superior taste & smoothness.

Deep in Kentucky, tiny Knob Creek spills and riffles down
through the hills. Like the bourbon bearing its name, there's not
much of Knob Creek but what there is rewards your finding it.

Named after Abraham Lincoln's boyhood home in Kentucky,
Knob Creek is truly bourbon at its finest. Created to represent
whiskey before it was mass produced, Knob Creek embodies
the look, feel and taste of pre-prohibition bourbon. This full-bodied, flavorful
bourbon takes classic cocktails to a new level.


Knob Creek Bourbon, bottled at an honest 100 proof like all good bourbons were a
century ago, is aged nine years in charred American white oak which lends this
bourbon its maple sugar aroma, distinctive sweetness and rich, full-bodied flavor,
giving it the distinction of being aged the longest of the Small Batch Bourbons. This
extra aging allows it to absorb more of the sugar in the wood, giving it a slightly
sweeter taste and nose.

Age: 9 years

Proof: 100

Color: Copper to medium amber

Aroma: Toasted nuts, grain oak

Taste: Rich, sweet, woody, full-bodied, almost fruity

Finish: Long, rich and glowing

Award: National Champion Whiskey - Wine Enthusiast

Comments: "At 100 proof, Knob Creek is as close to perfection as any bourbon on
the market." - The Book of Bourbon
