Knob Creek is celebrating the end of football season with its second limited-edition barrel release, Knob Creek Single Barrel Cask Strength Bourbon, Eli Manning’s Bold Pick: 2026 Batch.
Hand-selected by Manning, this expression is bottled straight from the barrel, with proofs ranging from 112.2 to 121.6.
“Football teams are built on trust – trusting your picks, your preparation, and your instincts, whether you’re on the field or managing your fantasy lineup,” said Freddie Noe, eighth generation Master Distiller at James B. Beam Distilling Co. “That same mindset guides how we make bourbon. Working with Eli last year set a high bar and bringing him back this season raised it. We put some of our finest barrels in front of him, and this one stood out right away. Bottled at cask strength, it delivers more intensity and more flavor – a full-bodied bourbon built for game day.”
“At this point in the season, you’ve made your calls, and it’s now about seeing them through,” said Eli Manning. “Hand-picking this barrel was a bold pick of its own – balanced, uncompromising, and full of character. It held up every time I came back to it, and that’s exactly what I expect from Knob Creek when it counts most: a bourbon worthy of the biggest moments.”
Knob Creek Eli Manning’s Bold Pick: 2026 Batch is available nationwide for a limited time for $69.99.
