Released to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the United States, the Knob Creek 9 Year Old Independence Edition pays homage to the grit, patience, and heritage of traditional American bourbon. Crafted at the James B. Beam Distilling Co. in Clermont, Kentucky, this limited-run release marks a historic milestone for the brand: for the very first time in Knob Creek’s history, its iconic black wax seal has been swapped for a striking commemorative blue wax seal, paired with a patriotic red, white, and blue label design.
While the exterior gets a collectible makeover, the liquid inside stays true to the uncompromising standard set by founding distiller Booker Noe in 1992.
Nine Full Years in Oak: Patiently aged for a minimum of nine years in deeply charred American white oak barrels, allowing the spirit to draw deep caramel, vanilla, and rich tannic structures from the wood.
100 Proof Integrity: Bottled at a robust 50% ABV (100 Proof) to deliver the heavy, full-flavored mouthfeel that defined pre-Prohibition whiskies.
Small-Batch Distillation: Blended from hand-selected barrels to ensure an unflinching balance of sweet grain, deep char, and spice.
How to Enjoy
Neat or On the Rocks: Poured straight into a heavy double old fashioned glass, the 100-proof backbone holds up effortlessly over a single large ice sphere without watering down its rich oak depth.
The Patriotic Old Fashioned: Muddle a raw sugar cube with two dashes of Angostura bitters, add 2 oz of Independence Edition bourbon, and stir over ice. Garnish with a fresh orange peel and a dark cherry.
Nose: Deep and inviting. Aromas of toasted pecans, rich brown sugar, and warm vanilla bean lead the way, supported by seasoned oak and a light touch of baking spice.
Palate: Full-bodied, robust, and mouth-filling. Initial waves of dark caramel and maple syrup melt into sweet corn, cinnamon, nutmeg, and Knob Creek’s signature note of roasted peanuts wrapped in charred wood.
Finish: Long, glowing, and deeply comforting. The 100-proof warmth lingers pleasantly, leaving behind a satisfying trail of sweet oak spice and soft vanilla.
