Knob Creek 21 Year Old Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey 750ml
Knob Creek 21 Year Old Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey is the oldest expression ever released by Knob Creek, aged more than two decades in new charred American oak at the Jim Beam Distillery in Clermont, Kentucky. Selected from barrels resting on the upper floors of the rickhouses, where heat intensifies maturation, this bourbon pushes the brand's pre-Prohibition philosophy of higher proof and longer age to its extreme.
Bottled at 100 proof, the nose delivers deep caramel, toasted oak, vanilla, and hints of cigar box with baking spice and molasses. The palate is rich and full, bringing sweet tobacco, dark brown sugar, chocolate, and raisin, balanced by a savory finish of musty oak, allspice, and roasted peanut. Two decades in oak develop layers of aged leather, dried cherry, and char that younger Knob Creek expressions cannot achieve.
Best enjoyed neat to fully experience its layered complexity, with a few drops of water to open the aromatics further. A landmark release and a strong addition for serious bourbon collectors and fans of extra aged Kentucky whiskey.
