Knob Creek X Eli Manning Bold Pick 2026

As the 2025–2026 football season reaches its peak, Knob Creek® introduces a limited-edition single barrel release crafted for the biggest moments of game day. Knob Creek® Single Barrel Cask Strength Bourbon – Eli Manning’s Bold Pick: 2026 Batch continues the brand’s partnership with legendary quarterback Eli Manning, bringing together bold bourbon craftsmanship and championship-level intensity.

Hand-selected by Manning at the James B. Beam Distilling Co. in Clermont, Kentucky, this special release is bottled straight from the barrel at full cask strength. Uncut and unfiltered, each bottle showcases the natural character of a single standout barrel, with proofs ranging from 112.2 to 121.6.

In the glass, this bourbon opens with rich aromas of vanilla and toasted oak before unfolding into layers of roasted nuts, caramelized sweetness, and warm baking spice. The finish is long, full-bodied, and warming, delivering the signature depth and intensity Knob Creek is known for.

Designed for high-stakes moments, this cask strength bourbon is meant to be savored during the season’s most important games, from playoff matchups to championship celebrations. Its bold structure also makes it an excellent choice for classic cocktails, including a game-day Old Fashioned that stands up to bitters and citrus without losing its character.

This release reflects a shared mindset between Knob Creek and Eli Manning: preparation, confidence, and trusting the pick when it matters most. Balanced yet powerful and uncompromising in flavor, Knob Creek® Single Barrel Cask Strength Bourbon – Eli Manning’s Bold Pick: 2026 Batch is a limited-edition bourbon built for fans, collectors, and anyone who appreciates a full-proof whiskey worthy of the biggest moments.
