Knob Creek Bottles 21 Year Old Bourbon

The James B. Beam Distilling Co. has announced the oldest-ever release of Knob Creek — Knob Creek 21 Year Old.

For more than two decades, these barrels rested in Kentucky rackhouses.

“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,” says 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.”

Bottled at 100 proof, Knob Creek 21 Year Old opens with aromas of seasoned oak, caramelized sugar and subtle smoke, according to distillery notes. On the palate, deep caramel and char build alongside hints of fruit and toasted oak, leading to a finish of toffee and charred wood.

Arriving just in time for the holiday season, Knob Creek 21 Year Old comes presented in a keepsake box. It’s available nationwide for a limited time at a suggested retail price of $249.99 for a 750-ml. bottle.

This follows the recent launch of Booker’s Bourbon Jerry’s Batch.
