Following the end of the American Revolutionary War, Johannes Reginald Beam emigrated from Germany to the United States and eventually settled in Kentucky County. At the time, Kentucky County was still considered part of Virginia, and was overseen by a military governor named John J. Bowman. After settling in Kentucky, Beam began harvesting corn and set forth a family tradition by distilling the excess grains he harvested into whiskey. Since then, seven generations of the Beam family have been involved in whiskey production for the eponymous company (the company is actually named after James Beam, who rescued it following Prohibition). Knob Creek Bourbon was created by Beam's grandson, Booker Noe, who after joining the family business in 1950 was promoted to Master Distiller just ten years later. Booker talked like a true Kentuckian and was known for his contagious personality, and through his launch of the "Small Batch Bourbon Collection" the collection includes Knob Creek as well as Basil Hayden's, Booker's and Baker's bourbons he is often credited as the father of the small-batch bourbon movement. Knob Creek Bourbon takes its name from the small water source, Knob Creek, that ran through President Abraham Lincoln's childhood farm. Booker's vision for Knob Creek Bourbon was that of an honest, quality bourbon that could meet the standards strength, flavor, care, and patience of bourbon made before Prohibition distressed the industry just decades earlier. Like Abraham Lincoln himself, Booker designed Knob Creek Bourbon to be honest, unwavering, and full of character. Knob Creek 15YO is a limited-edition expression that follows in the wake of editions such as 2001 Limited Edition. It's a small-batch Kentucky straight whiskey with aromas of caramel, oak, vanilla, baking spices, and a gentle sweetness. There's caramel, toffee, oak, and leather on the palate. Finishes warming with lingering spice, floral, and fruity notes. Knob Creek's limited editions are immensely popular, so it's best to get one quickly before they sell out.

Knob Creek offers a solid core lineup of whiskeys and bourbons, all of which have made the brand one of the most popular labels on the market today. Rye Whiskey has made a huge comeback in the industry in recent years, and Knob Creek's Knob Creek Twice Barreled Rye starts out as Knob Creek's Best-in-Class Rye Whiskey before being transferred to a new, level 4 charred oak barrel for additional aging. This transforms the into a powerful spirit with enhanced oaky aromas. The whiskey's re-exposure to the flavorful, smoky fresh barrel char results in the pinnacle of harmony between spicy rye and oak from the secondary barrel-finish. 

Knob Creek Smoked Maple takes our original Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey and blends in natural flavors creating a full-bodied taste with inviting maple notes that lift to smoke, complemented with rich vanilla and caramel.

Booker Noe's vision to recreate the full flavor of pre-prohibition bourbon has been further elevated with this extra-long aged Knob Creek 12 Year Old Bourbon Whiskey. These barrels were primarily located in the center of the Knob Creek rackhouses, ensuring the most consistent environment for the bourbon to patiently mellow in white American oak casks over 12 long years. This process allows the bourbon to undergo numerous additional changes that younger whiskies never experience. All the flavors of oak, caramel and vanilla present within those barrels are concentrated year after year, curbing away any and all harshness of flavor while still maintaining the unmistaken able full-flavor of Knob Creek.

There’s no faking full bourbon flavor. It has to be earned. So that’s what we do in Clermont: we earn it. We start by selecting the finest grains. And we finish by meticulously aging our whiskey in white oak barrels with maximum char, for an unmistakable richness and signature sweetness. It’s the natural way. And there’s just no cheating nature.

When the very first bottle of Knob Creek was released, its mission was to restore whiskey to the way it was meant to be -- patiently aged and full-flavored. This commitment not only helped Knob Creek overturn all the softer, milder, whiskeys on the market, it was also a major step toward making the small-batch whiskey movement what it is today.

We don’t age our bourbon nine years and longer because we’re required to. We do it because the extra time and effort are well worth it. Under the care of seventh-generation distillers, minutes become days, the days become years and the years become bourbon. 

Knob Creek Rye is made in small batches, patiently aged in the deepest charred barrels and bottled at a full 100 proof to maintain its big flavor. It's made of the highest quality rye which gives it a unique spicy, smooth flavor perfect for cocktails. Start with a classic Old Fashioned or just sip it neat or with ice.
