As the 2025-2026 football season reaches its pinnacle, Knob Creek, the founding spirit of the James B. Beam Small Batch Bourbon Collection, announces its second limited-edition barrel release, Knob Creek Single Barrel Cask Strength Bourbon, Eli Manning's Bold Pick: 2026 Batch. Available nationwide, the special edition rounds out its season-long partnership with the legendary quarterback.

Hand-selected by Manning at the James B. Beam Distilling Co. in Clermont, KY, this unique cask-strength expression is bottled straight from the barrel, with proofs ranging from 112.2 to 121.6, unfiltered and uncut. The result is a bold, robust bourbon that opens with flavors of rich vanilla and toasted oak, unfolds into layers of roasted nuts and warm spice, and finishes with a long, full-bodied warmth. A true expression of Knob Creek^®'s signature depth and intensity, it's crafted to be savored during the season's biggest game-day moments – whether celebrating a fantasy championship or cheering on a team through the final stretch.
