Knob Creek Smoked Maple Straight Bourbon
Kentucky Straight Bourbon with Natural Flavors | 45% ABV | 90 Proof | 750 mL | Kentucky, USA
Process & Profile
Knob Creek blends its Kentucky straight bourbon with natural smoked maple flavors. Maple sweetness comes through first, followed by hickory smoke, vanilla, and caramel. At 90 proof, it has a full body and a gently sweet, smoky finish.
Introduced in 2013 as Knob Creek’s first flavored release, Smoked Maple was inspired by founder Booker Noe, who smoked meats at home and made maple syrup from trees on his family’s property in Bardstown, Kentucky.
