CLERMONT, Ky. , Sept. 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- The James B. Beam Distilling Co. , home of The Small Batch Bourbon Collection™, announces the release of Knob Creek ® 12 Year Old Cask Strength , a limited-edition Kentucky Straight Bourbon that showcases the depth that twelve years of patient aging and full proof can deliver.

Beam Distilling Co . "Cask strength means the barrel gets the final say, and with this one, we were more than glad to listen."
