Kentucky Straight Bourbon | 54.5% ABV | 109 Proof | 700mL | Clermont, Kentucky | Aged 8 Years | Distillation Series
Hardin's Creek 8 Year High Distillation Profile explores the upper end of the low-wine distillation range within James B. Beam Distilling Co.’s three-expression series. Its 120-proof target changes the first-distillation setting while retaining the same mash bill and fermentation processes used for the Low and Middle expressions.
Eight years of aging precede bottling at 109 proof. This expression takes a brighter flavor direction, with orchard fruit, apple, citrus, floral honey, and wood spice. It provides an engaging comparison with Low’s darker richness and Middle’s rounded vanilla and toffee character.
