Flavors of Kentucky

On a live webcast at 4 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 1, Knob Creek Bourbon will offer fans a behind-the-scenes-look at how the super-premium bourbon is made and explain why it’s completely out of supply until November.

The webcast from the Knob Creek House in Clermont will kickoff Bourbon Heritage Month. During the taped portions of the webcast, fans will hear from Fred Noe, Jim Beam’s great grandson and seventh-generation Beam family distiller, how a rock-solid commitment to nine-year aging, matched with stronger than forecasted demand, produced the current shortage of Knob Creek. Noe will discuss how his father, the late Booker Noe, created the brand, and with it, the entire small batch bourbon category.

The Whiskey Professors, known to Bourbon fans for their extensive understanding of the acclaimed spirit, will also talk about the qualities of the brand, the reasons for the Knob Creek “drought,” as well as the anticipated date production will resume this fall.

The webcast can be accessed at www.knobcreek.com/webcast. No registration or purchase is required. Legal purchase aged fans can visit the URL now to submit questions to the Whiskey Professors, some of which will be answered during the live webcast, and to ensure they have the required media player to view it. A media player will be available for free download for those who need it.

Knob Creek is aged nine years at a sophisticated 100 proof or 50% alcohol by volume, and is named after the small town in Kentucky where President Abraham Lincoln was born.
