Knob Creek 21 Year Old Bourbon Whiskey 750ml
Experience the extreme outer limits of Kentucky bourbon maturation with the monumental Knob Creek 21-Year-Old Straight Bourbon Whiskey. Crafted by seventh-generation Master Distiller Fred Noe and eighth-generation Master Distiller Freddie Noe at the iconic James B. Beam Distilling Co. in Clermont, Kentucky, this ultra-rare release stands as the oldest age-stated expression ever released under the Knob Creek banner.
Available now at World of Whiskey Shop, Knob Creek 21-Year-Old is hand-selected from a tiny fraction of barrels laid down over two decades ago. Resting through twenty-one hot Kentucky summers in traditional timber-rack warehouses, the liquid underwent immense barrel interaction, absorbing rich oak tannins, deep wood sugars, and concentrated flavor complexity. Bottled at Knob Creek’s signature 100 Proof (50% ABV), this expression achieves an astonishing balance between massive oak depth and smooth, full-flavored drinkability without becoming overly tannic or astringent.
In the glass, it displays a deep, dark mahogany-chestnut hue with rich amber highlights. The nose opens with an inviting, deeply mature bouquet of toasted oak staves, dark leather, and pipe tobacco, underlaid by sweet notes of brown sugar, butterscotch, and dark chocolate-covered cherries. On the palate, a thick, velvety, full-bodied mouthfeel unleashes expressive flavors of dark maple syrup, toasted pecans, espresso bean, and baking spices, beautifully counterbalanced by dry oak tannins and subtle orange oil. The finish is remarkably long, warm, and sophisticated, slowly fading with lingering echoes of sweet wood spice, charred oak, and dark cocoa.
A crowning achievement for bourbon collectors, Knob Creek enthusiasts, and luxury gift-givers, Knob Creek 21-Year-Old is best enjoyed neat in a crystal Glencairn glass. Order your bottle today from World of Whiskey Shop.
