KNOB CREEK SINGLE BARL SELECT 750ML

Knob Creek Single Barrel Select

1. Origin & Style

1. American bourbon whiskey from Kentucky, USA.
2. Part of the Knob Creek family produced by the Jim Beam Distilling Co. under Beam Suntory.
3. Bottled as a single barrel selection, meaning each bottle comes from one individually selected barrel rather than a blended batch.

2. Mash Bill & Composition

1. Typically made from a mash bill of approximately 75% corn, 13% rye, and 12% malted barley — a classic bourbon profile.

3. Aging & Barrel Selection

1. Aged for several years (often around 9 years or more) in new, charred American oak barrels.
2. Retailers can participate in Knob Creek’s Single Barrel program, choosing barrels that appeal to them, so specific age and flavor vary by barrel.

4. Appearance

1. Deep amber color typical of well‑aged bourbons.

5. Aroma (Nose)

1. Rich, inviting scents of vanilla, caramel, oak, and toasted nuts.
2. Some picks also show hints of spice, brown sugar, and subtle smokiness.

6. Flavor (Palate)

1. Bold and robust on the palate with vanilla, caramel, and oak at the forefront.
2. Many barrels also reveal nuts, brown sugar, cinnamon, and rich toffee notes.
3. The proof and flavor intensity can vary since each barrel is unique.

7. Finish

1. Warm and lingering finish with oak and sweet spice character typical of high‑proof bourbons.
2. Finish length and specific notes vary by barrel pick.

8. Alcohol Content

1. Usually bottled at 120 proof (60% ABV), giving it a bold presence while still balanced for sipping or cocktails.

9. Mouthfeel

1. Full‑bodied and rich with a robust texture that can feel warming and dense, especially at this high proof.
2. Some barrels show a slightly oily or creamy mouthfeel.

10. Food Pairing & Serving

1. Best enjoyed neat, with a splash of water, or over ice to open up flavors.
2. Works well with hearty food such as grilled meats, barbecue, smoked dishes, and rich desserts.

11. Overall Profile

1. A bold, high‑proof single barrel bourbon that represents Knob Creek’s full‑flavored approach to whiskey.
2. Because each barrel is hand‑selected, individual bottles can have distinct personalities while sharing core traits of rich vanilla, oak, and caramel.
3. Offers both sipping pleasure and versatility in classic bourbon cocktails.
