Released in March 2026, Edition 01 was built with a clear, deliberate intention: hand-select barrels that push the sweeter, more dessert-forward side of the Knob Creek flavor profile, then bottle the result with the age and proof to back it up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAged 10 years in maximum-char American oak and bottled at 106 proof, this is a serious bourbon at an unusually approachable price point for what it delivers. The elevated proof keeps the confectionery character bold and viscous whether you're sipping neat, adding a splash of water to open up spice, or using it as the backbone of a premium Old Fashioned.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vanilla bean, toasted marshmallow, caramel, roasted peanuts \u0026amp; warm oak\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Butterscotch, maple syrup, brown sugar \u0026amp; baking spice with tart cranberry, candied cherry \u0026amp; a full, viscous mouthfeel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Long \u0026amp; warming with dark caramel, sweet tobacco, seasoned oak \u0026amp; black peppercorn spice\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFirst Release — Knob Creek Blender's Edition Limited Series (2026)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey, Sweet Bourbon Blend\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLed by Eighth-Generation Master Distiller Freddie Noe\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHand-Selected Barrels for Pronounced Vanilla \u0026amp; Confectionery Notes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAged 10 Years in Maximum-Char American Oak\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e53% ABV (106 Proof)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e750ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat makes Blender's Edition 01 different from standard Knob Creek?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe blending team specifically hand-selected barrels with unusually high levels of vanilla and confectionery sweetness, making this sweeter and more dessert-forward than the standard house style while keeping the signature 10-year oak structure and 106-proof intensity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does Knob Creek Blender's Edition 01 taste like?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eExpect vanilla, toasted marshmallow, and caramel on the nose, with butterscotch, maple syrup, and tart fruit on the palate, finishing long and warm with dark caramel, tobacco, and black peppercorn spice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this a limited release?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes — it's the first in an ongoing limited series spotlighting Knob Creek's blending craft.
