Bursting with rich notes of caramel, vanilla, toasted nuts, maple syrup, cinnamon spice, and oak-driven warmth, it delivers a full-bodied, layered sip that's robust yet smooth, evolving from sweet candied fruits to a lingering, fiery finish. Bourbon enthusiasts crave it for its rare value—unblended single-barrel uniqueness at an accessible price—offering an uncut taste of craftsmanship that's hard to beat for depth and satisfaction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n      \u003cp class=\"mb-4\"\u003eKnob Creek Charred Stave Single Barrel Bourbon is a Kentucky Straight Bourbon from Jim Beam's distillery in Clermont, KY, crafted with a mashbill of 77% corn, 13% rye, and 10% malted barley. Patiently aged nine years in new charred (#4) oak barrels entered at 125 proof, typically from middle rickhouse floors for balanced maturation, it's bottled at cask strength around 120 proof. This process delivers intense, full-flavored bourbon true to Knob Creek's small-batch heritage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"mb-4\"\u003eRich aromas of toffee, caramel, baked apples, cherries, and charred oak mingle with roasted corn, light brown sugar, clove, and subtle anise or salty brine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"mb-4\"\u003eViscous and toffee-forward on the palate, with caramel, orange zest, cherry pie, prune, tobacco, bitter chocolate, rye spice, clove, white pepper, and balanced oak tannins.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"mb-4\"\u003eMedium-long and warming, featuring roasted nuts, peanut butter toast, light oak, caramel, cherry, pepper, and faint vanilla creaminess.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"mb-4\"\u003eThis bourbon stands out for its high-proof potency, single-barrel variability, and exceptional value, blending sweet caramel depth with savory rye spice and oak char from extended aging.
