I’ve been an on-and-off friend of Knob Creek, and a mostly fair weather friend to Beam products in general. I’ve always liked Knob Creek’s age-stated 9 year-old although judging by what I wrote seven years ago in that link, the quality has dropped a bit (or I’ve gotten jaded, which is possible). I really liked Old Tub from Beam, which is still the deal of the century if you can find some. Still, most Beam bourbons give me a distinct off-note that’s somewhere in between engine grease and bitter vegetation, like chewing on grass.Knob Creek is distilled from mash bills. The brand also strictly follows a blend of nine-year-old whiskeys. It also has a rich, dark, and creamy smell with dense sweet vanilla, cherry, and caramel notes.

When buying bourbons, you’ll want to be on the lookout for words like "cask strength,""bottled in bond," and "single barrel." Most whiskey expressions have some water added to them before bottling to achieve the desired proof (alcohol by volume).

High Rye: A bourbon with a higher than normal percentage of mash bill made up of rye (as opposed to using more corn, wheat, or barley, the other main grains used in bourbon mash). This tends to produce spicier flavors in the bourbon. The flagship Knob Creek 9 Year Old Bourbon has its rye spices, cedar and cherry more at the forefront in the nose than the 12 year, which has more vanilla, caramel and rich pastry notes forward. In the taste, the flavors overall are more intense in the 9 year and have mellowed in the 12 year. However, that is not to say that the 12 year is bland, not at all. The 12 Year Is A More Balanced Bourbon
