In the late 1980s, Booker Noe, grandson of Jim Beam and Sixth Generation Master Distiller, set out to define the standards for pre-prohibition style bourbon and introduced Knob Creek.
The video at the bottom of this comes from 1988-1989 when the brand was introducing the original Small Batch Bourbon Collection including Booker’s, Knob Creek, Baker’s, and Basil Hayden’s.
“As we celebrate 30 years of Knob Creek, it’s clear to me that Dad was ahead of his time in creating innovative expressions with big, bold flavors that defined pre-prohibition whiskey,” = Fred Noe, Booker Noe’s son and Seventh Generation Master Distiller tells BourbonBlog.com “This new 18-Year-Old liquid is a nod to his vision and commitment to quality and craftsmanship, and I know this is a whiskey he’d be proud to serve. I’m honored to further his legacy with Knob Creek’s oldest and boldest expression yet.”
