Knob Creek 21 Year Old Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey

Meet Knob Creek’s boldest statement yet. Aged 21 years in Kentucky’s unforgiving rackhouses, this bourbon sits among the brand’s oldest ever releases. Clocking in at 100 proof, it strikes a balance between maturity and nuance. Early pours yield deep oak, caramel, and dark fruit aromas, evolving into notes of baking spice, dried cherry, and a whisper of smoke. The body holds power yet remains graceful—its oak backbone carries dried fruit and candied pecans through. Its finish lingers with toasted wood tones, soft vanilla, and a quiet strength. This limited-edition release is more than aged whiskey—it’s a time capsule of decades rolled into one sublime dram.

Nose: Charred oak, brown sugar, dried cherry, baking spice.

Palate: Rich oak, candied pecan, dark caramel, subtle cocoa, dried fruit.

Finish: Long, warming; toasted wood, vanilla, sweet smoke echo.

Pair with dark chocolate truffles or candied nuts to mirror the caramel and dried-fruit notes. Aged cheddar or smoked gouda will contrast oak and spice beautifully. Try grilled pork with a cherry glaze to echo cherry undertones.
