Released in 2026 with shipping timed to begin at the end of June ahead of the July 4 anniversary celebrations, the Independence Edition is a limited-run packaging variant of Knob Creek's iconic flagship 9-year-old, 100-proof Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey — the same award-winning liquid that has built the brand's reputation since its 1992 launch, now presented in a special patriotic-themed bottle and carton design that nods to the founding-era heritage of American whiskey-making.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKnob Creek itself was born in 1992 as one of the four founding pillars of the Jim Beam Small Batch Collection (alongside Booker's, Basil Hayden's, and Baker's), created by then-Master Distiller Booker Noe to revive the bigger, bolder, more characterful pre-Prohibition style of Kentucky Straight Bourbon. The brand takes its name from the creek that ran near Abraham Lincoln's boyhood home in Kentucky — a deliberate piece of American historical naming that makes the brand a natural fit for a 250th Anniversary commemorative. The 9-year age statement and 100-proof bottling have been the brand's defining specifications for over three decades, both intentionally chosen by Booker Noe to deliver the substantial, full-bodied, oak-driven character that distinguishes Knob Creek from younger and lower-proof flagship bourbons.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInside the Independence Edition decanter is Knob Creek's signature 100-proof, nine-year-old Kentucky Straight Bourbon — the standard liquid, not a special-batch reformulation. Expect a bold, full-bodied profile of seasoned oak, deep caramel, smooth vanilla, roasted nuts, warm baking spice, and toasted wood, finishing long and warm with the kind of structural backbone that has earned Knob Creek consistent critical recognition across the bourbon press. The release is a limited pre-order item with restricted retail availability heading into the America 250 celebrations. It drinks well neat or over a single large cube.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProof:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100 (50% ABV)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAge:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9 Year Old\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Clermont, Kentucky, USA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDistillery:\u003c\/strong\u003e James B.
