Knob Creek Independence Edition 9 Year Small Batch 100 Proof Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey celebrates bold American whiskey tradition from Clermont, Kentucky. Crafted as a Kentucky straight bourbon and aged nine full years in new charred American oak barrels, this limited edition release is bottled at 50% ABV (100 Proof) for full flavor and structure. The nose opens with toasted nuts, grain, and oak before layers of caramel and vanilla emerge.
Rich, sweet, and full-bodied on the palate, it delivers notes of brown sugar, warm spice, robust oak, and a subtle fruit character that recalls classic pre-Prohibition bourbon. The finish is long, glowing, and deeply satisfying with lingering caramel warmth. Best enjoyed neat or over a large ice cube to showcase its depth, though it also shines in an Old Fashioned or Whiskey Sour.
