Tasting Notes

Nose

Caramel, charred oak, a gentle rye spice. Nine years provide genuine maturity at 100 proof. Beneath the sweetness, vanilla, dried fruit and the Beam house nuttiness.

Palate

Full and sweet — caramel, charred oak, a gentle rye spice. The 100 proof and nine-year age provide genuine substance. Mid-palate brings brown sugar, toasted nut and a generous warmth.

Finish

Medium-long, with caramel and charred oak.

Knob Creek 9 Year Old is the anchor of Jim Beam's Small Batch Collection — nine years of aging at 100 proof from one of Kentucky's largest and most experienced distilleries. Widely available and consistently good, it represents the accessible end of premium bourbon.

The nine years and 100 proof create a bourbon of genuine substance. The Beam house character — nutty, slightly sweet — is given enough age and strength to express itself properly.

Knob Creek 9 is the reliable, widely available premium bourbon that most drinkers can find anywhere. The quality is consistent, the price fair, and the combination of age and proof creates a genuinely satisfying daily drinker.
