About Knob Creek Single Barrel Reserve
Knob Creek Single Barrel Reserve is a 9-year-old Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey produced by Jim Beam Brands, bottled at a robust 60% ABV (120 proof) from hand-selected individual barrels aged in new charred oak rickhouses in Clermont, Kentucky. What makes it special is its unblended, one-of-a-kind profile—each bottle varies slightly in taste, color, and aroma due to proprietary aging methods passed down for eight generations, delivering deep, complex flavors without the dilution of blending. It's ideal for bourbon enthusiasts seeking high-proof intensity, flavor chasers, and those who appreciate mature, barrel-specific expressions over consistent mass-market options. Compared to standard bourbons like Knob Creek Small Batch (100 proof), it offers bolder oak, smoke, and spice at a competitive $45.00 for 750ml, punching above its price in the single barrel category with superior viscosity and proof for sipping or mixing.
Tasting Notes
👃 Nose
Robust vanilla and caramel dominate the aroma, laced with subtle smoke and toasted oak. Notes of maple, roasted corn, light brown sugar, and nutty wood emerge, sometimes with clove, anise, or a savory salted toffee almond edge. High-proof ethanol heat is present but balanced by sweet, spiced undertones.
👅 Palate
Deep and complex with vanilla, nuts, oak, toffee, and caramel leading a viscous, full-bodied mouthfeel. Spicy rye brings clove, black pepper, and white pepper, alongside sweet corn, burnt sugar, and figs, creating a fiery yet balanced intensity. Adding water enhances harmony without overpowering the bold profile.
✨ Finish
Long, full, and warming with deep throat burn, barrel char, pepper, peanut butter toast, and lingering light oak. A creamy vanilla note fades smoothly.
