Knob Creek barrel bung
Knob Creek has apparently closed out their Drought of 2009 marketing campaign, and they’ve done it in style. A bunch of Stillhouse members have reported receiving a package in the mail with a commemorative barrel bung to celebrate the resumption of Knob Creek bourbon bottling. I just got mine today.
It comes in a box with the following text:
Dear Knob Creek Lover,
Thanks for being patient. After 9 long, rewarding years, your batch of 2000 Knob Creek Bourbon is ready to enjoy. In honor of this occasion, we’d like to share a commemorative 2000-2009 Knob Creek barrel bung.
Cheers! Your friends at Knob Creek
Now, I never actually saw any difference in availability on the shelves here in AZ, but it was still a fun campaign, and now i have my own barrel bung. That’s a pretty cool chotski for the ‘ol liquor cabinet. Perhaps they’ll send out the bourbon barrel that it goes with for Christmas, so hurry and get your Stillhouse membership. 🙂

The drought is over.
I survived the drought of 2009 and all I got was this bunghole.

cool marketing item. 😉
u know, i never had knob creek . i am not big on bourbons
I love bourbons and knob creek is one of my favorites. But as I have recently discovered single malts, there is no comparison to some to some of the finer ones. So far my favorite is the Highland Park 18, absolutely awesome whiskey.
