The Knob Creek 9 Year Old Old: Independence Edition is a limited-run commemorative release from the James B. Beam Distilling Co. in Clermont, Kentucky. Launched to celebrate the United States' upcoming 250th semi-quincentennial anniversary (1776–2026), it gives the brand’s flagship expression a unique, highly patriotic presentation.
Packaging Changes
The primary differentiation for the Independence Edition lies in its visual aesthetic:
- Blue Wax Seal: For the first time in Knob Creek's history, the iconic black wax seal on the bottle's neck has been replaced with a vibrant blue wax.
- Patriotic Label: The standard front packaging features a red, white, and blue American flag-inspired label variant.
The Bourbon Inside
The liquid inside the bottle remains completely unchanged. It contains the exact same, critically acclaimed flagship whiskey found in standard bottles:
- Age: Aged a full 9 years in heavily charred American white oak barrels.
- Proof: Bottled at Knob Creek's classic 100 proof (50% ABV).
- Style: Modeled after a robust, full-bodied, pre-Prohibition style of bourbon.
Tasting Profile
Because it uses the classic 9-year distillate, it maintains the deep flavor profile enthusiasts expect:
- Nose: Robust aromas of seasoned oak, deep caramel, smooth vanilla, and toasted nuts.
- Palate: Full-bodied with bold waves of dark brown sugar, maple syrup, charred oak, and warm baking spices.
- Finish: Exceptionally long, warm, and glowing, leaving a trailing sweetness of vanilla and oak
