Knob Creek marks a milestone via the release of its oldest expression to date, a 21 Year Old bourbon.
For more than two decades, these barrels rested patiently in James B. Beam Distilling Co.’s Kentucky rackhouses, weathering changing temperatures and seasons. Each was then hand-selected by its master distillers for its balance and complexity and bottled at 100 proof.
“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,” said Freddie Noe, eighth generation Master Distiller at James B. Beam Distilling Co. “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.”
Knob Creek 21 Year Old is available nationwide for a limited time for $249.99.
