Knob Creek is a straight bourbon whiskey produced in Clermont, Kentucky, and was created in 1992 by Booker Noe, the sixth-generation Master Distiller of the Jim Beam distillery. Named after the creek near Abraham Lincoln's childhood home, the brand was built on a philosophy of crafting full-flavored, super-premium bourbon at a time when lighter spirits dominated the market. Today, Knob Creek is part of the James B. Beam Distilling Co., which boasts a history spanning over 229 years. Knob Creek is best known for its rich, bold character and has consistently set the standard for super-premium American whiskey. The portfolio includes the flagship Kentucky Straight Bourbon, a Single Barrel Reserve, and a growing rye whiskey range — including an age-stated flagship rye. A standout expression is the Knob Creek Bourbon X Rye Blend, which combines 30% 9-year-old Kentucky Straight Bourbon with 70% 7-year-old Kentucky Straight Rye, showcasing the brand's versatility. In 2025, Knob Creek made history by introducing its 21 Year Old expression — the oldest whiskey ever bottled in the James B. Beam Distilling Co.'s history and among the oldest age-stated bourbons available. This milestone release underlines Knob Creek's reputation as one of America's most respected and forward-looking bourbon brands.
