    Frozen Fingers, Full Glasses: The Knob Creek Pick

    Another below-freezing Kentucky day didn’t stop Give 270 co-founders Kenny and Joe from heading out to Clermont, KY, for a barrel-pick adventure at the iconic James B. Beam Distillery. As guests of Kris from Cheers Wine and Spirits in Leitchfield, they were joined by other members tasting panel of fellow bourbon lovers for the Knob Creek Single Barrel Select experience.

    Inside the tasting room—thankfully warmer than in the rickhouses—the panel gathered around a table, ready to get down to business. Barrels lined up, glasses poured, and the hunt for the perfect pour was on. Each taster had their own process—some nosed the glass for deep oak and caramel notes, others swirled and let the flavors open up—but everyone was focused on finding the barrel that stood out from the rest.

    One by one, they worked through the lineup. Rich, bold, high-proof picks with all the signature Knob Creek character—deep vanilla, warm spice, and that signature kick. The selected barrel is nearly 10 years old and will be bottled at 122.8 proof!

    Cold weather or not, this pick was worth it. The team locked in a bold, flavor-packed Knob Creek Single Barrel —and you’ll want to be ready for it when it comes out this spring!
