But, that’s up for debate. In 2009, Knob Creek production was halted due to a shortage. Beam embraced it, running print ads that read, “Thanks for nothing,” handing out T-shirts referring to the “drought of 2009,” and sending journalists empty Knob Creek bottles. At the time, Fred Noe said in an interview that the company chose not to solve the shortage by using younger whiskies because it would be “compromising the product.” It’s as American as Abraham Lincoln.

Of all the fall beverage ingredients I like to play with this time of year, apple cider just might be at the top of the list.

In a mixing glass, put the sugar cube, add the bitters, then muddle until crushed. Pour the Knob Creek in the mixing glass, then stir it well. Bring in the glass and rinse it with absinthe. Finally, pour the mixture, squeeze the lemon twist over, and drop it as a garnish. FAQs The Sazerac is a timeless mixed drink that is simple and a nice way to doctor up bourbons, so try one now!

They got to chatting, and Hall mentioned that he wanted to do something special for Goose Island’s thousandth brew.
