Jim Beam has raised the bar with its Knob Creek brand, placing the upper rung firmly into the territory of the ultra-aged bourbons with Knob Creek 21 Year Old.
“When we first laid this batch to rest, we weren’t chasing any specific age statement – we were focused on crafting a great bourbon, just like we always do,” said Freddie Noe, eighth generation master distiller. “After I tasted the whiskey, I knew we had something special. After decades in the rackhouse, the liquid developed a richness and balance we knew Knob Creek fans and whiskey enthusiasts would want to try. That’s what makes this release special: it’s bold, full of character, and embodies what Knob Creek® stands for.”
Like all the Knob Creek bourbon expressions, Knob Creek 21 is bottled at 100 proof. This brand extension will be available nationwide for a limited time at a suggested retail price of $249.99 for a 750mL bottle.
