Crafted in honor of pre-Prohibition bourbon traditions, Knob Creek Single Barrel Select takes the bold, full-flavored character the brand is known for and elevates it through careful barrel selection. Each bottle comes from a single hand-picked cask, allowing the unique personality of that barrel to shine. This expression offers deeper oak influence, richer sweetness, and a punchier proof than the standard Knob Creek, making it a treat for those who appreciate the individuality of single-barrel bourbon.
