Booker named Knob Creek after the small stream that flows through President Abraham Lincoln's childhood home in Kentucky. Lincoln's genuine Kentucky character and unwavering stance was the perfect representation of the values Booker took when creating Knob Creek Bourbon. We like to think of it as the rebirth of honest bourbon. Our squat, apothecary-like bottle was fashioned after the turn-of-the century bourbon bottle sold throughout Kentucky. The label is inspired by the decades-old custom of wrapping finished bottles in newspaper at the distillery.
