Description

Knob Creek's 12 Year Cask Strength is back for the first time since 2020: twelve years in charred American white oak, bottled uncut at 121.2 proof.

Seventh-generation Master Distiller Fred Noe hand selected barrels from ten lots in the Clermont, Kentucky rickhouses, batched them, and bottled the result at full cask strength (60.6% ABV) with no water added. The extra age brings deep caramel, char and dried apple on the nose, then a rich, oily palate of butterscotch, dried apple and seasoned oak before a long caramel-and-cinnamon finish. A limited edition release for the 2026 holiday season, and only the second time Knob Creek has released a 12 year at cask strength. 750ml.

Aroma: Caramel, barrel char and dried apple with a wave of seasoned oak.

Palate: Rich and full at 121.2 proof. Butterscotch, dried apple, baking spice and deeply seasoned oak.

Finish: Long and warming, with caramel and cinnamon that linger well after the sip.

How to drink

Neat: Pour a small measure in a Glencairn and let it breathe for a few minutes. At 60.6% ABV the heat settles and the caramel comes forward.

With water: A few drops at a time. Water opens the dried fruit and butterscotch without flattening the oak.

Old Fashioned: If you mix it, keep it simple: a barspoon of demerara syrup, two dashes of bitters, one big cube. The proof carries the drink.
