Last week, Manning released a new bourbon that he personally selected with master distiller Freddie Noe for Knob Creek.

It’s called Eli Manning’s Bold Pick: 2026 Batch, “created for fans who have trusted their instincts all season and are ready for toast-worthy celebrations.”
During the promo, Manning was naturally asked for his prediction for Sunday’s Super Bowl between the Seattle Seahawks and the New England Patriots.
“Seattle versus New England is definitely a matchup worth celebrating. New England’s turnaround from last year shows what can happen when all the pieces fall into place at the right time. And Seattle’s dominant defense and resurgent offense combined to solidify their place,” Manning said. “My pick is Seattle, because they’ve been more consistent on both sides of the ball down the stretch.”
Manning has been working with Knob Creek and Noe all year to develop the limited edition single barrel barrel and offered his thoughts on both bourbon and football.

“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 eighth-generation master distiller Freddie Noe. “That same mentality 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 best barrels in front of him, and this one immediately stood out. Bottled at cask strength, it offers more intensity and more flavor – a full-bodied bourbon made for game day.”
The Seahawks are currently 4.5-point favorites to win on Sunday.
