About Knob Creek

Connect
Knob Creek is a distinguished small-batch bourbon whiskey produced by Beam Suntory, one of the world's largest spirits manufacturers. Founded in 1992, Knob Creek represents a commitment to quality over quantity, with each batch carefully crafted using time-honoured distilling techniques and aged for a minimum of nine years in new charred oak barrels.
The brand is named after a creek near the childhood home of Jim Beam, the legendary bourbon distiller whose family legacy spans over 200 years. Knob Creek honours this heritage while establishing its own identity as a full-bodied, complex bourbon with a higher proof point (120 proof) than many competitors, delivering robust flavours of caramel, oak, and spice that appeal to serious bourbon enthusiasts and cocktail connoisseurs alike.
Knob Creek's production philosophy emphasises small batches and meticulous craftsmanship. The whiskey is bottled at 100 proof and higher, without chill filtration, preserving natural flavours and aromas. This dedication to quality has earned Knob Creek numerous awards and accolades, establishing it as a benchmark for premium American whiskey worldwide.
Today, Knob Creek remains a cornerstone of the bourbon category for premium on-premise establishments and discerning home drinkers. The brand has expanded its portfolio to include Knob Creek Rye, Knob Creek Single Barrel, and limited-edition expressions, maintaining its commitment to excellence across all products.
Our story
Knob Creek was established in 1992 by Beam Suntory (then Jim Beam Brands) as a direct response to the growing demand for premium, small-batch bourbon whiskeys. The brand's creators sought to revive the craft traditions of pre-Prohibition American whiskey-making, emphasising limited production runs and extended aging in new charred oak barrels. Named after the creek near Jim Beam's childhood home in Clermont, Kentucky, Knob Creek carries the weight of nearly 200 years of Beam family bourbon expertise.
The founding philosophy was simple but uncompromising: produce fewer bottles of exceptional quality rather than maximise volume. Each batch of Knob Creek is hand-selected and aged for a minimum of nine years, resulting in a full-bodied bourbon with pronounced character. The decision to bottle at 100 proof and higher, without chill filtration, distinguishes Knob Creek from competitors and appeals to bourbon purists who value authenticity and intensity of flavour.
From its inception, Knob Creek has been positioned as a premium offering within the bourbon category, commanding respect in both the on-premise and at-home consumption spaces. The brand's commitment to craftsmanship, transparency in production methods, and consistent quality has made it an ambassador for American bourbon worldwide, and it continues to influence industry standards for what constitutes truly premium small-batch whiskey.
