| Jacob's Well Kentucky Straight Bourbon Honors the James B. Beam Family Legacy |
| The ultra-aged Jacob's Well is one of two debut bourbons from the James B. Beam Distilling Co.'s new Hardin's Creek line. In fact, it's the legend Jacob Beam himself and his pioneering efforts that give this new bourbon its name. In 1795, after moving from Pennsylvania to Central Kentucky, he dug a well on his farm, where he grew corn in abundance. Beam took advantage of the nearby creek—whose name you can probably guess—to power a mill to grind that corn. With those crucial tools in place, he was able to make whiskey: a trailblazing foray that would eventually grow to become the world's #1 Bourbon Whiskey. Freddie Noe — 8th Generation Master Distiller, Fred B. Noe Distillery — is the latest family member to continue charting the Beam legacy. He's putting his family's story to work in a fresh way, with the launch of Hardin's Creek and its first releases. The new Jacob's Well Kentucky Straight Bourbon honors Jacob Beam's true story without elaboration. Jacob's Well combines two of the James B. Beam Distilling Co.'s bourbon mashbills with extra-maturity: its traditional bourbon mashbill, aged for 16 years, and its high-rye bourbon mashbill, aged for 15 years. Together, they create a flavor that's deeply oaky and rich, shot through with plum and vanilla notes, and lingering into a smooth, rounded finish. At 108 proof, the bourbon has serious heft and can be enjoyed for hours neat or on the rocks—or even with a fitting splash of water. "Jacob's Well is some of the best damn bourbon coming out of this distillery," Freddie says. Who are we to argue? Be part of the legacy. But hurry, this is a very limited, one-time release.
