Description
Hardin's Creek Straight Bourbon Jacob's Well 211 Months Aged 17 Yr is an extraordinary expression meticulously crafted by James B. Beam Distilling Co. as a part of the revered Hardin's Creek brand family. Jacob's Well pays homage to the historic well constructed by Jacob Beam, which served as the initial water source for the family's inaugural bourbon. This bourbon is a blend of a 16-year-old traditional bourbon, sharing the same mash bill as iconic releases like Jim Beam, Knob Creek, and Booker’s, alongside a 15-year-old high-rye bourbon, famously utilized by Basil Hayden and Old Grand Dad. Both bourbons were originally distilled by Freddie Noe and personally selected by him a decade and a half later.
The months specified on the label harken back to the original Jacob’s Well bottling, which proudly bore the distinction of being an 84-month old bourbon. The Batch 2 of Jacob's Well, officially announced on June 1, 2022, and approved by the TTB on July 21, 2023, undergoes an impressive aging process of 211 months (17.5 years). Bottled at 109 proof, it is a carefully curated blend of an 18-year-old traditional bourbon and a 17-year-old high-rye bourbon, representing the pinnacle of craftsmanship and patience.
