H&-bottled in limited quantity for a superior taste & smoothness. Deep in Kentucky, tiny Knob Creek spills & riffles down through the hills. Like the bourbon bearing its name, there's not much of Knob Creek but what there is rewards your finding it. Named after Abraham Lincoln's boyhood home in Kentucky, Knob Creek is truly bourbon at its finest. Created to represent whiskey before it was mass produced, Knob Creek embodies the look, feel & taste of pre-prohibition bourbon. This full-bodied, flavourful bourbon takes classic cocktails to a new level. Knob Creek Bourbon, bottled at an honest 100 proof (50% abv) like all good bourbons were a century ago, is aged nine years in charred American white oak which lends this bourbon its maple sugar aroma, distinctive sweetness & rich, full-bodied flavour, giving it the distinction of being aged the longest of the small-batch bourbons. This extra aging allows it to absorb more of the sugar in the wood, giving it a slightly sweeter taste & nose. ...

In 1997 the illegal status was removed by the Irish Government. In 2007 the EU conferred ' Geographical Indicative' protective status to Irish Poteen. Historical Background. Irish Poteen has been produced for several centuries & for nearly the last 300 years has been referred to as Ireland's Moonshine spirit. It achieved notoriety when home production was made illegal during the reign of Oliver Cromwell, to coerce the Irish population to buy inferior Crown Whiskey which had high taxes, to pay for the English costs of its war against Ireland & its occupation. In the 15th & 16th Century, Crown Agents, & in later times the Garda, could impose heavy fines & confiscate farm machinery where sacks of grain or barley were found that they decided were intended to be used to produce a mash & subsequently poteen. Avoiding any of these tell-tale signs that poteen was being produced & with it the risk of prosecution/fines/imprisonment, meant producers could work more freely without worry. Therefore, as no cow was ever known to have been confiscated, hence its milk was frequently used in the spirit making process, & our poteens follow that centuries old tradition.
