Knob Creek Blender's Edition #1 Bourbon Whiskey
Knob Creek Blender's Edition #1 – Limited Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey
The Knob Creek Blender's Edition #1 marks a bold new direction for the iconic Kentucky distillery. This inaugural release showcases the artistry of Knob Creek's blending team, who hand-selected and married a curated set of barrels to create a bourbon that pushes beyond the classic house profile while honoring its deep, pre-Prohibition roots.
Crafted in limited quantities and bottled at a robust proof, Blender's Edition #1 delivers elevated richness, layered oak complexity, and a refined balance of sweetness and spice. This is Knob Creek through the lens of a blender's creativity — expressive, structured, and built for enthusiasts who appreciate nuance and depth.
