Our team was delighted to meet Mike Rowe, creator of the Knobel Whiskey Line, while he was in town. We enjoyed a wonderful evening in Baltimore while Mike told us all about how the Knobel Line and Dirty Jobs came to be. We are very excited to have this line of Whiskey as part of our portfolio, as they represent true craftsmanship in distilling.
Knobel Whiskey
Mike Rowe created Knobel Whiskey to honor his grandfather, Carl Knobel, and all of the hardworking tradespeople like him today.
