Knob Creek Smoked Maple Small Batch Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey

Savour the bold, robust heritage of Kentucky with Knob Creek Smoked Maple Small Batch Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey. Crafted as a heartfelt tribute to the distillery's legendary founder, Booker Noe, this innovative expression combines Knob Creek’s signature high-quality, full-flavored bourbon with the natural sweetness of maple and a hint of charred oak smoke. The result is a premium, top-shelf flavoured whiskey that honours pre-prohibition style bourbon while offering an entirely unique, contemporary flavour profile.

As a true Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey, the base spirit is distilled from a traditional corn-heavy mash bill and aged patiently in deeply charred American white oak barrels. Master distillers then expertly blend this aged small-batch bourbon with natural smoked maple flavours. Bottled at a robust 90 proof (45% ABV), Knob Creek Smoked Maple maintains the famous "big, bold" backbone that whiskey enthusiasts expect from the brand, ensuring the sweet maple notes never overpower the complex rye spice and rich oak undertones of the bourbon.

Incredibly versatile and full-bodied, it is the perfect cold-weather sipper. Enjoy it neat to appreciate its warming complexity, pour it over ice for a smooth on-the-rocks experience, or use it to completely reinvent classic whiskey cocktails. It serves as an exceptional base for a maple Old Fashioned, a smoky Manhattan, or paired alongside a premium cigar.

Authentic Tasting Notes & Flavour Profile

• Appearance: Deep, brilliant amber with rich copper and golden highlights.
• Aroma: An inviting, aromatic bouquet of sweet maple syrup, rich vanilla, and warm caramel, balanced by toasted oak and a delicate wisp of woodsmoke.
• Palate: Full-bodied and velvety. Bold, upfront flavours of smoky maple and brown sugar give way to classic bourbon notes of roasted nuts, baking spices, rye herbaceousness, and charred oak.
• Finish: Exceptionally long, warm, and sweet. The maple sweetness gently fades into a comforting, dry finish of cinnamon, black pepper, and lingering woodsmoke.
