Ready your glasses, Britain—because Knob Creek Cask Strength Bourbon is making waves across the Atlantic. Long revered by American whiskey elites, this bold, undiluted release is now capturing the attention of bourbon connoisseurs from London to Liverpool.
Straight from the barrel and bottled without compromise, Knob Creek® Single Barrel Select Cask Strength is a high-proof celebration of flavour, craftsmanship, and American heritage. As Chicago’s whiskey scene lines up for their bottles, the UK’s upscale sippers are taking note—and making space in their collections for this barrel-strength beauty that’s anything but average.
What Makes Knob Creek Cask Strength Bourbon So Iconic?
When you hear cask strength bourbon, think pure, undiluted, straight-from-the-barrel intensity—and Knob Creek Cask Strength Bourbon doesn’t disappoint. Each bottle is a one-of-a-kind expression of Kentucky craft: uncut, unfiltered, and rich in flavour with ABV levels ranging from 110–130 proof.
“When my grandfather created Knob Creek, he set out to make a whiskey that stood out—bold, robust, and no shortcuts,”
Freddie Noe
eighth-generation Master Distiller.
“With our Single Barrel Select Program, we pay tribute to that legacy by offering fans the chance to experience Knob Creek in its most authentic form.”
Cask strength means what you taste is exactly what the distiller intended—no dilution, no additives, no compromise. Each barrel offers a unique experience, with tasting notes ranging from deep vanilla and toasted oak to spicy caramel and smoky cinnamon. It’s a dream pour for purists, collectors, and anyone ready to level up their bourbon game.
Barrel by Barrel: A Collector’s Bourbon with Individual Character
The standout feature of Knob Creek Single Barrel Select Cask Strength is its individuality. Each bottle originates from a hand-selected barrel, meaning the profile varies—dramatically—from one release to the next. It’s a true one-of-one experience for the drinker.
That exclusivity is why high-end retailers and whiskey clubs from Birmingham to Glasgow are keen to stock it. It’s not just a bottle—it’s a talking point, a collector’s treasure, and a perfect pour for premium bars.
And with a retail price starting around £55–£65, it offers remarkable value for a small-batch, cask strength bourbon with international acclaim.
From Kentucky to Your Cabinet: The Experience Behind the Bottle
The bourbon isn’t the only thing that’s bold. The journey of selecting a Knob Creek Single Barrel is just as memorable. Retailers and barrel buyers are invited to the James B. Beam Distilling Co. in Clermont, Kentucky for the ultimate whiskey adventure.
There, you’ll:
- Sample straight from the barrel in Warehouse K
- Enjoy a guided tasting with expert distillers
- Choose your own barrel
- Indulge in a chef-driven meal at The Kitchen Table, the distillery’s private culinary space
And if you’re not hopping a transatlantic flight soon, Knob Creek has you covered—remote barrel selection kits make it possible to curate your cask-strength bottle from the comfort of a London penthouse or a Manchester loft.
The Private Barrel Club: For Those Who Want It All
True bourbon aficionados, take note: the Private Barrel Club is your next frontier. Based at the distillery, this programme allows whiskey fans—whether sommelier, bar owner, or collector—to custom-select barrels and even design custom labels.
It’s the ultimate bourbon ownership experience. From Glasgow supper clubs to Leeds mixology collectives, the Private Barrel Club offers a new layer of exclusivity and prestige.
