Knob Creek 9 Year Old 100 Proof Bourbon

Knob Creek 9 Year Old is the age-stated version of Booker Noe’s original pre-Prohibition bourbon standard — 9 years of patient maturation in deeply charred white oak barrels, bottled at 100 proof, delivering the deep old-style flavor and natural oak sweetness that Booker designed Knob Creek to restore when he created the Small Batch Bourbon Collection in the early 1990s.

The 9-year age statement makes explicit what the standard Knob Creek always achieved — a minimum of nine years in deeply charred white oak produces the full-bodied character, big oak presence, and long rich finish that distinguish Knob Creek from lighter, shorter-aged bourbons. Nine Kentucky seasons cycling the spirit in and out of the charred oak develops the concentration of caramel, vanilla, and spice that defines the Knob Creek house style, while the 100-proof bottling ensures none of that concentration is lost to dilution. The unflinching balance of deep old-style flavor with natural oak sweetness.
