Composing the fine balance of flavor notes in a whiskey is not unlike composing a song. In this video, we travel to Clermont, Kentucky, in order to discover how Knob Creek uses a simple balance of grain, wood and water to create a harmony of whiskey notes.
The process is founded upon a nuanced nine year journey of obsession and craft, the origins of which date back several generations. Along the way, we talk to Fred and Freddie Noe, 7th and 8th generation distillers who know how to play their rackhouses like a fiddle.
With a sneak peek of what actually happens inside a barrel in its nine year stay on a Kentucky rackhouse shelf, we reveal where Kentucky whiskey truly finds its voice.
