Our whiskey critic reviews Knob Creek's new limited-edition bourbon.
I had a chance to talk with Noe over Zoom recently about the 15, and we tasted through Knob Creek at 5, 7, 9, 12 and 15 years old to see how it develops over time. Noe admits that Booker might not have been a fan. “If you talked to my dad, he’d say, ‘What in the hell are you doing?’” he said. “In his day, six to eight years, that was it. If you went over that, you were ruining it.
Personally, I prefer the 12-year-old version of Knob Creek over the 15, as it stays further away from deep oakiness and allows the traditional Beam flavor profile to shine with a richer, more complex palate. You’ll likely find the 15 selling higher than its $100 price tag at most stores, but still less than other similarly aged whiskeys from brands like Michter’s, Barrell or Widow Jane. On the other hand, it’s going to cost you more than a 15-year-old Tennessee whiskey from Dickel.
