Knob Creek Single Barrel Reserve 120 Proof is the single barrel expression of Knob Creek each bottle drawn from an individually selected barrel at 120 proof without dilution, handpicked by the distillery using seven generations of Jim Beam family production knowledge, with each barrel producing slight variations in taste, color, and aroma based on its final age, rack placement, and the other proprietary conditions that distinguish one barrel from the next.

Single barrel production is the most transparent form of bourbon-making when a bottle contains the product of one barrel, there is nowhere to hide variation and no ability to blend away imperfections. Knob Creek Single Barrel Reserve uses the same deeply charred white oak barrels and patient aging approach as the small-batch standard expression, but each barrel selected for single barrel bottling has demonstrated exceptional individual character beyond what the blend achieves. The 120 proof bottling delivers the full, undiluted intensity of the selected barrel richer and more assertive than the 100-proof standard Knob Creek.
