Knob Creek Bourbon
Booker Noe's 100 proof Kentucky standard, poured in Commack since 1992.
The story behind Knob Creek
Knob Creek arrived in 1992, built by Booker Noe, the grandson of Jim Beam, as one of four pillars in the Small Batch Bourbon Collection. It is distilled in Clermont, Kentucky, from the house low rye mash bill: 75 percent corn, 13 percent rye, 12 percent malted barley. The whiskey rests in new American oak given the maximum Level 4 char, and the flagship carries a 9 year age statement.
Noe was chasing pre-Prohibition whiskey, which was aged longer and bottled stronger. That is why the core sits at 100 proof, the old Bottled-in-Bond benchmark of 1897. We have stocked Knob Creek on this shelf for more than three decades, and it has never once needed a sales pitch.
