The 18 Year doubles that maturation: eighteen Kentucky seasons cycling the spirit through the deeply charred oak develops concentrated wood sugars, layered baking spice, and the kind of integrated oak depth that only emerges with extended time in barrel. At 100 proof, the structural weight of that maturation is preserved without dilution.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Deep seasoned oak, dark caramel, and vanilla with developed baking spice\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full-bodied and oak-forward — caramel, toffee, and spice layered over the concentrated wood character of 18 years in charred barrel\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Long and warming with lingering oak, vanilla, and spice\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecs\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eDistillery:\u003c\/strong\u003e Jim Beam Distillery, Clermont, Kentucky\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey — Limited Time Offering\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eAge:\u003c\/strong\u003e 18 years\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 50% (100 Proof)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrowse all \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/whiskey\"\u003ebourbon at Wooden Cork\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eHow does Knob Creek 18 Year differ from the standard 9 Year?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 18 Year doubles the maturation of the core expression — eighteen years in deeply charred oak develops far more concentrated oak, baking spice, and integrated depth than the 9-year base, while both share the 100-proof bottling strength.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eIs the 18 Year a limited release?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes — it is released as a Limited Time Offering showcasing Knob Creek's premium age-statement program.
