| Description: | Knob Creek 2001 Bourbon Whiskey 14 Years Old Hard to find Limited Edition! In late 2001, Booker handed the tradition and responsibility of stewarding Knob Creek to his son, Fred Noe. Before passing the torch, however, Booker laid down several special barrels, which Fred patiently waited a full fourteen years before bottling. Started by Booker and carried on by Fred, as is the case with the entire Knob Creek legacy, Knob Creek 2001 Limited Edition Small Batch Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey is the oldest whiskey ever released by Knob Creek, and the ultimate representation of this legendary father-and-son duo. Knob Creek 2001, according to information provided to us by Beam Suntory, was started back in the namesake year by legendary Beam master distiller Booker Noe. He is said to have passed the love of Knob Creek bourbon to his son Fred Noe, making this particular brand his first assignment. The 2001 expression was carried forth by the younger generation Noe through until recently, when it was bottled up into three batches which each accentuate distinct notes of the release.12,000 bottles, each clocking in at 100 proof, have been crafted of this more than 14 year old bourbon. The previously mentioned batches, in general, are said by distillery officials to have a taste with complex oak and char notes with subtle vanilla and warm spice. Beyond that, here is how each batch breaks down: Batch 1 Description: Higher in sweet notes, vanilla and caramel, very smooth Batch 2 Description: Higher in wood, oak notes and more astringent Batch 3 Description: Mid-way between the other two batches but favors more of the woody notes Rounding out the tasting notes, all three Knob Creek 2001 runs have an aroma that displays robust oak and char notes balanced by sweet vanillas and caramels with a hint of warm brown spice, and a finish which is smooth sweetness with a touch of astringency. Knob Creek Bourbon was created by Beams grandson, Booker Noe, who after joining the family business in 1950 was promoted to Master Distiller just ten years later. Booker talked like a true Kentuckian and was known for his contagious personality, and through his launch of the Small Batch Bourbon Collection â€Â the collection includes Knob Creek as well as Basil Haydens, Bookers and Bakers bourbons â€Â he is often credited as the father of the small batch bourbon movement.Knob Creek Bourbon takes its name from the small water source, Knob Creek, that ran through President Abraham Lincolns childhood farm. Bookers vision for Knob Creek Bourbon was that of an honest, quality bourbon that could meet the standards strength, flavor, care and patience of bourbon made before prohibition distressed the industry just decades earlier. Like Abraham Lincoln himself, Booker designed Knob Creek Bourbon to be honest, unwavering and full of character. |
