This bourbon is named for the creek that ran behind Abraham Lincoln’s childhood home in Kentucky. The Knob Creek label was first in use in 1898. It was owned at the time by the Penn-Maryland Corp., a division of National Distillers. Jim Beam purchased National Distillers In 1987, and Knob Creek was resurrected.
