Knob Creek Blender’s Edition 01 Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey – 750 mL
Overview
Knob Creek Blender’s Edition 01 is the inaugural release in a new limited-edition series celebrating the art and precision of whiskey blending. Created by eighth-generation Master Distiller Freddie Noe and the Knob Creek blending team, Edition 01 was deliberately composed from hand-selected barrels to showcase a sweeter, more confectionery-driven side of the classic Knob Creek profile. Aged for a minimum of 10 years and bottled at a robust 106 proof, this Kentucky Straight Bourbon combines mature oak character with rich vanilla, caramel, brown sugar, and warming spice while retaining the bold structure for which Knob Creek is known.
