Knob Creek Cask Strength – Eli Manning’s “Bold” Pick (750ml)

Product Description

Knob Creek Cask Strength Eli Manning’s Bold Pick 750ml is a private selection bourbon chosen for power, depth, and unmistakable character. Curated by blackbook, this barrel-proof release reflects the “Bold” profile Eli Manning favors—full-throttle flavor, assertive oak, and classic Knob Creek richness delivered straight from the barrel with no dilution.

Drawn from a single hand-selected barrel, this cask-strength bourbon showcases Knob Creek’s signature house style at maximum intensity: dark caramel, vanilla, roasted nut, and seasoned oak layered with warming spice. Each bottle captures a specific barrel’s personality, making it a true collector’s pick that rewards slow sipping and a splash of water to unlock additional layers.

At blackbook, we spotlight private selections that earn the designation. This Eli Manning Bold Pick does exactly that—confident, expressive, and built for serious bourbon drinkers.
