The first sip of Knob Creek 18Yr 100 Proof wraps you in a warm, caramel embrace, unfolding layers of toasted oak and rich vanilla that linger long after the glass is set down. Crafted in the United States and bottled at a robust XX.XX% ABV, this bourbon’s deep amber hue hints at its extended aging, which coaxes out notes of dark toffee, dried fruit, and a subtle smokiness. Each pour delivers a bold yet balanced experience that stands up beautifully alongside a perfectly seared steak or the bittersweet complexity of dark chocolate. For those who appreciate whiskey with depth and character shaped by time in charred American oak barrels, Knob Creek 18Yr is an invitation to savor every moment.
Producer Information: Jim Beam
Jim Beam traces its roots to the rolling hills of Clermont, Kentucky, where Jacob Beam sold his first barrel of whiskey in 1795, establishing a family legacy that would shape American bourbon for generations. The distillery’s commitment to using a proprietary strain of yeast since Prohibition and aging their bourbon in new charred oak barrels reflects a deep respect for traditional methods unique to the region’s limestone-rich water and climate. Beyond their flagship bourbon, Jim Beam produces notable spirits such as Knob Creek and Basil Hayden’s, each crafted with distinct mash bills and aging techniques that highlight Kentucky’s influence on small-batch whiskey production. Their portfolio also includes Old Crow and Booker’s, further cementing their status as a cornerstone in the American whiskey category while maintaining a focus on authenticity rooted in local heritage.

American Whiskey is a distinct category of distilled spirits primarily made from grains such as corn, rye, barley, and wheat. This spirit is characterized by its unique distillation methods—either pot still or column still—and is aged in new charred oak barrels. The aging process varies by type; for instance, straight whiskey must be aged for a minimum of two years. The flavor profiles differ significantly among styles: Bourbon offers sweet notes of caramel and vanilla with hints of spice, while Rye Whiskey presents a spicier character with peppery undertones and citrus hints.
The texture of American Whiskey can range from smooth to rich, depending on the specific style being enjoyed. Regions like Kentucky are renowned for Bourbon production, while Tennessee is known for its mellow Tennessee Whiskey that often undergoes charcoal filtering. Commonly used in classic cocktails such as the Old Fashioned and Manhattan, American Whiskey can also be savored neat or on the rocks. Understanding terms like mash bill and proof further enhances appreciation for this versatile spirit.
