Episode 388: Knob Creek 21yr Bourbon

On this episode of Chill Filtered, Cole and Bryan pour something serious — Knob Creek 21 Year Bourbon. Before diving into a whiskey with an age statement that would’ve seemed impossible not that long ago, the conversation wanders through Sylvia Plath, mental health, meaningful numbers, and eventually circles back to how (and why) ultra-aged bourbon is making a confident return. Once the glasses are poured, the boys break down the background of Knob Creek, the disappearance of extreme age statements in the past, and what it says about today’s whiskey landscape that bottles like this even exist again. On Whiskey World News, Bryan runs through upcoming releases that have people paying attention, including Elijah Craig 15 Year and Wilderness Trail 10 Year Bourbon. And for “What Whiskey Would You Choose?”, the question gets sentimental: What is your most memorable distillery tour — and what made it stick with you? Big age, thoughtful conversation, and plenty to chew on in this one. Pour something nice and hang with us. 🥃
