Beam Distilling Co. in Clermont, Kentucky. The three-expression series holds the mash bill and fermentation constant and changes only the first distillation: this Low expression was taken off the still at a 105-proof low-wine target, keeping more of the heavy grain and fermentation character in the spirit. After eight years in oak it is bottled at 109 proof (54.5% ABV) in a 700mL bottle, emphasizing concentrated caramel, dark chocolate, toasted nuts and barrel char. 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 105-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. The Distillation Series is its most technical chapter yet: identical mash bill, identical fermentation, three different distillation proof targets. The Low expression shows what a lower distillation proof preserves — a heavier, oilier spirit that takes on chocolate, nut and char over eight years.
