Knob Creek is perfect straight or cooled slightly with one or two ice cubes.Knob Creek Bourbon was named after a little creek that runs just south of the distillery the same creek that ran by Abraham Lincolns childhood home. Booker Noe 6th generation Beam and master distiller emeritus created Knob Creek to reflect the strength flavor care and patience that defined pre-prohibition bourbon. The bottle embodies the handmade look and feel of the turn-of-the century bourbon as well.
