Knob Creek 12 Year Cask Strength Kentucky Straight Bourbon 750mL

Knob Creek 12 Year Cask Strength Kentucky Straight Bourbon is a bold, full-bodied expression from the James B. Beam Distilling Co., showcasing mature Kentucky bourbon at its natural cask strength. Aged for 12 years in new charred American oak barrels, this limited release builds on Knob Creek’s signature rich and oak-forward character while delivering greater concentration and intensity than the standard 12 Year expression. Bottled without being proofed down to the regular 100-proof strength, it offers bourbon enthusiasts a powerful look at well-aged Knob Creek straight from the barrel.

The nose delivers deep caramel, vanilla, roasted nuts, dark fruit, and seasoned oak with underlying baking spice. On the palate, rich brown sugar, toffee, dark cherry, cocoa, cinnamon, and charred oak develop into a dense, warming profile. The finish is long and robust, leaving lingering notes of caramelized sugar, vanilla, spice, leather, and mature oak.
