Summary
An inaugural limited-release bourbon from Jim Beam that highlights a sweeter, confectionary profile compared to traditional Knob Creek offerings. It features a 10-year age statement, is bottled at 106 proof (53% ABV). Developed by eighth-generation master distiller Freddie Noe and team, this limited release dials back the traditional dry, nutty, and heavily charred notes of standard Knob Creek in favor of a sweeter, richer drinking experience. Knob Creek Blender's Edition No. 1 is widely considered one of the best value-driven bourbons on the market. Compared to other Knob Creek expressions, it hits a very competitive sweet spot. Cheers!
