Uptown Spirits Knob Creek Single Barrel Select Bourbon Hand Selected for Uptown Spirits 750ml
About this bottle
This Knob Creek Single Barrel Select was hand-picked by Uptown Spirits from Jim Beam's Clermont, Kentucky warehouses, one barrel drawn out of the standard blend and bottled on its own. Knob Creek ages a minimum of nine years, and single barrel bottlings come in at 120 proof rather than the standard release's lower strength, so the wood and heat both show up harder. The nose leans into dark caramel and oak, the palate carries vanilla and baking spice with real proof behind it, and the finish runs long and dry. It's built for bourbon drinkers who want more intensity than the standard Knob Creek pour, not a starter bottle.
How to drink Knob Creek Single Barrel Select
Add one cube of ice, not a full pour of water — at 120 proof it needs a little dilution to open up without losing the oak. A Manhattan built with this barrel pick skews boozier than usual, in a good way.

Questions about this bottle
How should a barrel-proof pick like this be served?
A splash of water or a single ice cube helps open it up at 120 proof; neat is fine for drinkers who like the heat.
Does this work in cocktails?
Yes — it holds up well in a Manhattan or an Old Fashioned, where the higher proof keeps it from getting lost against vermouth or bitters.
What proof is this bottled at, and how old is it?
This single barrel select is bottled at 120 proof (60% ABV) and aged a minimum of nine years, both higher than Knob Creek's standard release.
What does 'hand selected for Uptown Spirits' mean?
Uptown Spirits, an online retailer, picked this specific barrel from Jim Beam's warehouse stock rather than it being part of Knob Creek's standard, blended-batch release.
