On Monday, Knob Creek introduced the reintroduction of its 18-year-old bourbon. This marks the second time this extra-aged bourbon has been re-released because it first debuted in 2022 to honor the model’s thirtieth anniversary.
Knob Creek 18 Yr Outdated is aged twice so long as the model’s flagship bourbon, making it the oldest Knob Creek launch so far. It’s bottled at 100 proof and, in accordance with a press launch, embodies the requirements and intentions of sixth- technology grasp distiller Booker Noe when he first launched the model to the world over three many years in the past.
“It’s clear to me that Dad was forward of his time in creating revolutionary expressions with massive, daring flavors that outlined pre-prohibition whiskey,” stated Fred Noe, Booker’s son and seventh-generation grasp distiller, within the launch. “This 18-year-old liquid is a nod to his imaginative and prescient and dedication to high quality and craftsmanship, and I do know this can be a whiskey he’d be proud to serve.”
In keeping with the discharge, Knob Creek 18 Yr Outdated’s aroma kicks off with plumes of brown sugar and aged oak with undercurrents of caramel and deep barrel char. On the palate, full-bodied layers of vanilla, caramelized oak, and baking spices unfold and culminate in a heat end characterised by notes of fruit, recent flowers, and a touch of spice. Like all Knob Creek bottlings, the bourbon is aged in new, closely charred American oak barrels. As a result of in depth growing older in Knob Creek’s rackhouses, the expression bears a wealthy, darkish copper tint.
Knob Creek 18 Yr Outdated is on the market now for a restricted time at choose retailers nationwide with an SRP of $179.99.
