Knob Creek 18 Year Old: Introduced in 2022, the 100 proof bourbon is the company's oldest expression to date. [10] Maker’s Mark offers several bourbons, which means a lot to many people. Some taste it and swear they’ll never drink anything else. Others find it bland and boring, unwilling to give it another try. However, this label has many loyal drinkers, which is why you’ll find it on the shelf in nearly any bar you walk into in the US. If you’re interested in trying one of their offerings, we recommend starting with their Cask Strength bourbon. While it’s easy to dismiss Makers Mark for many bourbon aficionados, it’s still quality and smooth-tasting bourbon. Our Service is an online platform which provides Members with information (e.g. bottle facts, market-indices, market values and prices) on (mostly) whisky and allows Members to add information to the platform.

Knob Creek fans appreciate the quality of intentional workmanship, and we’re excited to release our extra-aged Knob Creek 18 Year Old for a limited time,” Beam seventh-generation Master Distiller Fred Noe said in a news release. “The partnership between Knob Creek and Smithey Ironware came from the passion that both brands have for the details, whether it’s with cooking or in a fine glass of bourbon.” The concept behind this small-batch bourbon was to show how talented the master blenders are at the artistry of marrying unique flavor profiles along with a smaller number of barrels. Usually, with small-batch bourbons, they are aged longer and at a higher strength. Bottled at 108 to 114 proof, Maker’s Mark® Cask Strength amps up the front-of-the-palate flavors of Maker’s Mark®. In other words, it’s Maker’s™ with a lot more Maker’s™. Knob Creek Rye: a 100 proof (50% ABV) straight rye whiskey bearing the Knob Creek name was released in 2012. This is the first Knob Creek whiskey not to carry an age statement, instead being advertised only as "Patiently Aged". [7] Knob Creek 12 Year Bourbon: The same strength and formula as the original, this whiskey was a 2020 release. It is aged for 12 years, which adds to its oaky flavor.

The Knob Creek Straight Bourbon Whiskey has a sweet smell, with plenty of stone fruits. You’ll notice a hint of peaches and cherries, as well as a bit of vanilla if you let allow it to sit for a moment or two. Maker’s Mark Private Select bourbon is an excellent bourbon for sipping with some ice or drinking neat. It has a perfect blend of apple, caramel, and vanilla when you open the bottle and inhale its pleasant aroma. This 50% ABV is about right for this bourbon, and the palate offers some movement but is controlled, which many drinkers will enjoy. The Knob Creek Straight Bourbon Whiskey is easy to drink due to the way it balances the spiciness with the sweet. It offers solid complexity with a good body. Hopkins, Amy (September 26, 2013).

Last on our list of offerings from Knob Creek is its single-barrel select bourbon. It’s a 120-proof offering, which is bottled at nearly the strength of a full cask. Many bourbon fans prefer the higher proof, however, if you’re not, just add a bit of cold water to really bring out the aromas and flavors. Save the date for the opening of an innovative new distillery” cried the invite. “Aha!", I thought,…

Since Knob Creek’s initial release, small batch bourbons are more widespread. Most major distilleries have a small batch product, such as the popular Four Roses Small Batch or Elijah Craig Small Batch. While Knob Creek delivers its own unique flavor profile compared to others, it’s also not one that stands out head and shoulders above the competition - or at least as much as it used to. As the only handmade bourbon in the United States, every batch uses fewer than 19 barrels, making use of the sour-mash process. Without a doubt, Maker’s Mark is one of the best small-batch bourbon whiskeys on the market, making itself known without a lot of fuss. I’ve been an on-and-off friend of Knob Creek, and a mostly fair weather friend to Beam products in general. I’ve always liked Knob Creek’s age-stated 9 year-old although judging by what I wrote seven years ago in that link, the quality has dropped a bit (or I’ve gotten jaded, which is possible). I really liked Old Tub from Beam, which is still the deal of the century if you can find some. Still, most Beam bourbons give me a distinct off-note that’s somewhere in between engine grease and bitter vegetation, like chewing on grass.Usually, bourbon distillers will use almost 70% corn along with other grains to round out their mash bill. Of course, the types of grains they choose to use will impact the flavoring and style of the bourbon. Whiskybase B.V. (“Whiskybase”, “we” or “us”, company details below) offers a whisky enthusiasts online platform that provides its members access to the most comprehensive, transparent and trusted resource of whisky bottles and allows and stimulates its members to contribute information about whisky bottles to the platform (“Service”). On Friday, Knob Creek announced the return of its oldest bourbon — Knob Creek 18 Year Old — in conjunction with the release of a cast iron skillet from Smithey Ironware. The skillet has been seasoned 18 times — a whopping 15 times more than Smithey’s typical skillets — in celebration of Knob Creek 18’s return. Bottled at 90 proof, Russell’s Reserve Rye features notes of almond and allspice. Its crisp, lively taste works in a smooth, complex palate. The high-proof rye is made with a mashbill of 95% rye and 5% malted barley. It is aged for a minimum of six years in new American oak barrels before being bottled at its natural color. A lot of drinkers unfairly assume that all rye is spicy or hard to enjoy unless you’re a “true enthusiast”. Russell’s does a great job of demonstrating how flavorful and easy to enjoy rye whiskey can be. Despite it making up a tiny portion of their overall distilling
