Knob Creek is a well-known name and is distilled under the direction and supervision of master distiller, Fred Noe. If you don’t know Fred, you should. He is the son of legendary master distiller, Booker Noe and is the grandson of Jim Beam. His work at KC is nothing short of legendary.
The 18-Year release is a very limited, super highly allocated one that usually alludes most whiskey fans. I was lucky enough to get us some today. Aged twice as long as the distillery’s flagship bourbon, the 18-Year-Old boasts a rich copper color and deep notes of caramelized oak to its extensive aging in Knob Creek’s Kentucky rack houses.
Rich and creamy notes of toasted oak, vanilla and caramel attack as soon as you pop this one open. Bottled at 100-Proof, you get a little bit of the heat on the front palate followed by rich oak, burnt sugar and freshly baked bread. As it starts to open, you get some sweeter, creamy vanilla notes that cream in as well as campfire s’mores and a dash of pepper. The finish is long and memorable – something you’d expect for a Whiskey with this kind of age statement.
The prices on this one are all over the place. I see it going for over $400 some places but the average is right around $320/bottle. It’s crazy – I doubt that half the people that say they have it online even do. I had to work pretty hard to get these bottles. Our price is fantastic – it’s worth a heck of a lot more in the secondary markets, but for the Bourbon Buyers Club, you know I had to go low.

I have one of High West’s newest and rarest releases, a limited roll out of Campfire Whiskey – a blend that they make using some of the finest scotch, bourbon and rye whiskey barrels they can get. This is a pretty complex blend and it gets increasingly better and more interesting with every return to the glass and new dimension unlocked. This one checks in at 92 Proof (46% alc.) and has a ton of different caramel, oak, light smoke, leather, dried fruit and zesty spices that send your taste buds on a straight up rollercoaster ride. Unfortunately, I have only a few bottles to go round – not enough for an offer of any kind.
When my yearly allocation came in for W.L. Weller, I was pleased to find out that I was granted a few ‘bonus bottles’ by the powers that be. Hey, you know I’m not arguing. I only got a few more the Single Barrel, 12-Year and the Antique so I decided to put those into 3-packs and sell those as well. Get in while you can, I only have three. Each 3-pack sampler includes 1 bottle each of the following:
Weller Single Barrel (orange)
Weller 12 year (black)
Old Weller Antique (red)
Our special relationship with the red-hot Wyoming Whiskey has given us some incredible opportunities. We had a ‘Steamboat’ Whiskey that was previously only for the state of Wyoming as well as our own private barrel. Now, we’ve got their super limited production of Outryder Rye. It’s not a bourbon. It’s not a true rye. The result is a incredibly unique spirit that’s great for sipping or making cocktails. This Straight American Whiskey is a blend of two distinct mashbills, an almost Rye Whiskey and a High Rye Bourbon, that represents Wyoming Whiskey’s first use of Rye.

Michter’s always provides some of the best value in American Whiskey and they never miss. This one is their best bang for the buck bottling that they make. This is so smooth and delicious, you would never know this is bottled at 84.8 Proof. This is a bit of a spicy number with those signature Rye peppery notes, butterscotch, creme brulee and a hint of toasted oak. One of my all-time favorite under $50 bottles.
