Hardin's Creek Jacob's Well
108 proof 15 years 4 months Bourbon James B. Beam Distilling Company $150 Blend of traditional bourbon mash bill and high rye mash bill (undisclosed)

Old rickhouse character with tool room and machine shop notes; overwhelming oak, tobacco, and leather; some char; stone fruit and burnt caramel hiding in the background; creamy caramel undertones.

Bittersweet caramel; black walnut; leather and tobacco; dark caramel notes that are creamy but not sweet; reminiscent of cherry stripped of its sweetness by sitting in liquid; spice forward; long finish with sustained spice on the tongue.

Dry and tannic; strong oak and char on the mid and rear palate; medicinal spice quality; lingering drying effect with little remaining sweetness.

Noteworthy
A sophisticated, age-forward bourbon that demands an appreciation for oaky, tannic, tobacco-forward profiles and is best suited for experienced ultra-aged whiskey drinkers.
