I think that the menu mentioned a Longhorn brand, based on Knob Creek. I'm not sure what that means. That could mean Knob Creek brand with a different label. It could also mean that Longhorn bought several anonymous barrels at the same distillery that produces Knob Creek, and then bottled in a separate label. When the Longhorn contract comes up for renewal, it will probably go out for bids and could be bought by some other distillery.
Knob Creek is produced in Clermont Ky at the Jim Beam distillery. This is one of the world's largest distilleries with more barrels on site that you could possibly imagine. It's a nice place to visit if you are ever in the area.
The Longhorn Old Fashion was served with a Luxardo cherry. They taste much better (and more expensive) than Maraschino cherries.

I used to work at Beam. They now have a sit-down restaurant on site that's fantastic.
I've toured lots of distilleries and the best tour I've been on was Buffalo Trace. It's free, and it's amazing. (I don't work for them either.)
