Hand-selected exclusively for Platinum Barrels, this Knob Creek Cask Strength Single Barrel is a true one-barrel expression of Kentucky bourbon, bottled at an impressive 126.8 proof (63.4% ABV).

This particular barrel was laid down on September 26, 2016 and matured in Warehouse F, Floor 6, Rick 16 before being selected on July 22, 2026. Its sixth-floor resting place subjected the barrel to significant seasonal temperature changes throughout maturation, encouraging deeper interaction between the whiskey and its charred oak barrel.

The result is an intensely flavored, full-bodied expression showcasing the character that makes Knob Creek single barrels so sought after. Expect layers of deep caramel, toasted vanilla and brown sugar, joined by roasted nuts, seasoned oak and baking spice, with darker notes of cherry, toffee and char emerging as the whiskey opens in the glass.

At 126.8 proof, this Platinum Barrels selection delivers Knob Creek with remarkable intensity and concentration. The finish is expected to be long and warming, carrying oak, caramel and spice well beyond the sip.

Most importantly, this is a true private single-barrel selection: every bottle in this release comes from this one specific barrel—Warehouse F, Floor 6, Rick 16—selected specifically for Platinum Barrels.
