Knob Creek® Bourbon, a leader in the Small Batch Bourbon category for more than 25 years, is excited to announce the highly anticipated return of Knob Creek 9 Year Old to the Canadian market. This release marks the first official Canadian launch of a Knob Creek age-statement whiskey in more than four years.

Scheduled to hit shelves coast-to-coast over the next month, Knob Creek 9 Year Old is boasting a new look. While its iconic flask bottle shape, as designed by Beam family member and Bourbon master distiller Booker Noe, and eagle’s beak remain brand hallmarks, Canadians will notice new premium touches to the vessel. These enhancements include a stamped wax seal, glass embossments and a 100-proof label, highlighting the whiskey’s pre-Prohibition credentials.
