Knob Creek's Bold Step Forward with Cask Strength Selection
Knob Creek Single Barrel Select Cask Strength provides an extraordinary experience for whiskey lovers. This offering features uncut and unfiltered bourbon and rye, expertly chosen by retailers to reflect the unique tastes of their communities. This evolution marks an exciting milestone for Knob Creek, a respected name within the world of premium American whiskey.
Your Gateway to Unique Whiskey Experiences
The philosophy behind Knob Creek Single Barrel Select Cask Strength is to empower retailers to curate their selections of uncut, unfiltered liquid right from the barrel. This initiative aims to honor the founding vision of Booker Noe, the original master distiller, who believed bourbon should shine in its truest form.
Unmatched Flavor Profile
Bottled directly from the barrel and without any water dilution, the cask strength selections vary in proof, with bourbon ranging from approximately 110-130 and rye from 100-120. This process ensures each barrel delivers unique flavors, allowing connoisseurs to enjoy a diverse palette of robust, full-bodied profiles that characterize Knob Creek's exceptional quality.
A Tribute to Heritage
