Jacob’s Pardon Cask Collective 16 Year Old American Whiskey Finished in Sherry Casks

Jacob's Pardon Cask Collective 16 Year Old American Whiskey – Sherry Cask Finished

Jacob's Pardon Cask Collective 16 Year Old American Whiskey Finished in Sherry Casks is a rare and exceptional release from the Jacob's Pardon Cask Collective — a curated series of uniquely finished, long-aged American whiskeys that push the boundaries of Tennessee whiskey craftsmanship. After 16 years of maturation, this expression receives a final finish in Sherry casks, adding a rich layer of dried fruit, dark chocolate, and wine-like complexity that transforms an already exceptional aged whiskey into something truly distinctive.

Inspired by the legendary Taub family legacy — bootleggers pardoned by President Franklin D. Roosevelt after Prohibition — Jacob's Pardon celebrates freedom, resilience, and the art of American whiskey at its most refined.

Tasting Notes

• Palate: Full-bodied and beautifully layered with concentrated dried cherry, fig, dark chocolate, toffee, warm spice, and a refined oak depth that only long aging can produce — the Sherry finish adding a luscious, fruit-forward dimension throughout
• Finish: Long, warm, and deeply satisfying with lingering dried fruit, chocolate, oak, and a gentle Sherry sweetness that evolves beautifully in the glass

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is the Jacob's Pardon Cask Collective?

The Cask Collective is Jacob's Pardon's series of specially finished, long-aged American whiskeys — each expression taking a well-aged Tennessee whiskey base and adding a unique cask finish to create a distinctly different flavor profile. The Sherry Cask Finish is one of the most celebrated expressions in the series.

What does Sherry cask finishing add to the whiskey?

Sherry cask finishing imparts rich layers of dried fruit (cherry, fig, raisin), dark chocolate, toffee, and a warm wine-like sweetness to the whiskey — complementing and enriching the caramel, oak, and spice character developed during 16 years of primary maturation.

How does this compare to Jacob's Pardon Recipe 2 and Recipe 3?

The Cask Collective expressions are finished whiskeys — adding a secondary cask influence on top of long aging. The 16 Year Sherry Cask Finish sits between Recipe 2 (109.3 proof, bold and rye-forward) and Recipe 3 (18 years, maximum aged complexity) in the lineup, offering a uniquely fruit-forward and wine-influenced character.
