The product will be called Knob Creek Single Barrel Reserve. It will begin to ship in January for retail launch in February. It will still be 9-years-old but will be bottled at a significantly higher proof, 120° (60% alcohol). Of course, the barrels will be individually selected. Suggested retail is $10 above regular Knob, so about $40.
Instead of the paper label of the original the label will be screen-printed ceramic. It will look like this:

Looking forward to trying it!
Here in Mansfield, Ohio one of our state stores (inside Kroger's) has a new display which says that their KC was especially made for our town. When I asked the manager about this she said she had to purchase an entire barrel to get this display and that all bottles are from the same barrel. So I bought a bottle and I must say that it is amazing. Best KC I have had.
I know well the Kroger of which you speak, because I grew up in Mansfield and was just there last week. "Buy a barrel" is a different program, which they've been doing for several years, but your experience bodes well for their single barrel selection standards.
