Beam Distilling Co. in Clermont, Kentucky. The three-expression series holds the mash bill and fermentation constant and changes only the first distillation: this High expression was taken off the still at a 120-proof low-wine target, the highest setting in the trio, for a lighter, cleaner spirit. After eight years in oak it is bottled at 109 proof (54.5% ABV) in a 700mL bottle, leaning into orchard fruit, citrus, floral honey and wood spice. It is available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProof \/ ABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 109 proof (54.5% ABV)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDistillation:\u003c\/strong\u003e 120-proof low-wine target (first distillation)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAge:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8 years\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 700mL\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Clermont, Kentucky\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eOne Variable: Distillation\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHardin's Creek is Freddie Noe's experimental series for the James B. Beam Distilling Co., built to isolate the decisions that shape bourbon. In the Distillation Series, identical mash bill and fermentation meet three different distillation proof targets. The High expression shows what a higher distillation proof delivers — a brighter, more fruit-driven spirit that eight years of oak frame with delicate spice rather than char.
