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 Un ited 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 Show more
