Product Information

Yes, all bourbon is whiskey, but not all whiskey is bourbon. Bourbon must be distilled from at least 51 percent corn, aged in new charred oak barrels, and bottled without artificial colorings or flavorings. Love bourbon? This Bourbon Salted Caramel Sauce is bound to be your new favorite ice cream topping. I also love it in Salted Caramel Bourbon Rice Crispy Treats for a grown-up twist on the classic childhood treat. Hand me a mug of steaming hot cider and I’m a happy girl. Add a splash of bourbon to that cider and I’m ready to float away to autumnal paradise. Bourbon Apple Cider It’s fall in a glass. Close your eyes, and watch the red and orange leaves meander gently to the ground, swaying in the wind, football on the television, chili on the stove. It’s not hard for the weather to be too warm for me. With my love of all things fall, comes my extreme distaste for the heat, especially in October when all I want is to hang by my wood stove wrapped in a quilt.

Of all the fall beverage ingredients I like to play with this time of year, apple cider just might be at the top of the list. One of the best things about drinking bourbon over apple cider ice cubes is that you get two drinks in one: In September 2016, Knob Creek announced it would be ditching its nine-year age statement in effect since 1992. Previously, the brand strictly adhered to a blend of whiskies of at least nine years old. With the change, the flagship blend would include whiskies younger than nine years old, as well as older. According to Knob Creek, the availability of aged whiskey at the distillery would allow the blend to achieve the same flavor profile.Can one of the most trusted names in bourbon produce a flavored expression while retaining the original qualities which set it apart from the crowd to begin with? That’s the issue at hand here, so let’s see what we have.

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.

Given the Knob Creek whiskey prices mentioned above, the brand remains one of the top-shelf whiskeys for years because of its strong flavor and rich aftertaste. Bourbon is made from a mash bill of grains that must include 51 percent corn, water, and yeast. The combination is then distilled, aged, and bottled. Each drink is unblended to highlight the singular characteristic of the spirit in hand-selected barrels. Final Thoughts Yes, Knob Creek Single Barrel is rare. Based on our research, it remains the purest expression of the brand with old-style flavor, so the prices are different. I’m marking this “Not Recommended” because I’ve had better Beam products and in fact better bourbons in this (very low) price range. Don’t be put off, though, if you’re buying this for mixing. It excels at that!Knob Creek is a small-batch brand of bourbon whiskey that was created by Jim Beam master distiller Booker Noe to embody the look, feel and taste of pre-prohibition bourbon. When prohibition was lifted in 1933, the sudden demand for bourbon presented a dilemma for whiskey-makers as they had to contend with the difficulty of starting distillations from scratch while emerging in a new, competitive market. In the midst of a industry-wide rush to sell, barrels that had hardly been aged were utilised and quality was often the casualty. A desire to recreate a style and standard of bourbon that existed prior to this state of affairs was the motivation for Noe to establish Knob Creek as a brand.

There’s nothing like cozying up with a blanket and a mug of Hot Mulled Cider on a chilly October evening. Except maybe cozying up with a blanket, a book and a mug of Hot Maple Bourbon Cider on a chilly fall evening. I grabbed a bottle of bourbon the other day planning to make a mug of hot bourbon and cider on Saturday night. Of course, come Saturday afternoon it was starting to feel just a little too warm for my taste. As legend has it, in the early 1990s, Booker Noe, then-master distiller of Knob Creek, and Greg Hall, Goose Island founder and then-brewmaster, met at a dinner in Chicago. They got to chatting, and Hall mentioned that he wanted to do something special for Goose Island’s thousandth brew. It was in this conversation that the famous Goose Island Bourbon County Brand Stout was conceived.
