FROM THE WIRES…
Knob Creek® Bourbon is excited to announce the return of its award-winning
limited edition Knob Creek 15 Year Old. Originally released in 2020, this liquid
further elevates Booker Noe’s vision to recreate the fullest flavors characteristic of
pre-prohibition style bourbon. Knob Creek has boldly expanded with this extra aged
Knob Creek® 15 Year Old Bourbon, their most mature age statement to-date.
To deliver such an extraordinary product that is bottled at 100 proof, barrels were
pulled from prime locations within Knob Creek’s Kentucky warehouses that cater to
advanced aging, which is essential to the decade and a half maturation process.
This extended journey over fififteen years allows for the bourbon to mature in such a
way that truly highlights the flavors of smooth caramel and toffee, perfectly paired
with toasted oak and light leather, all while maintaining the unmistakable full flavor
of Knob Creek. Its flavor is rich and hearty, reflecting the true maturity of the liquid,
that can only come with age.
