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.
