It’s one of three limited releases in the \u003cstrong\u003eDistillation Profile Series\u003c\/strong\u003e, made at the James B. Beam Distilling Co. in Clermont, Kentucky, and every one is \u003cstrong\u003e8 years old\u003c\/strong\u003e and bottled at \u003cstrong\u003e109 proof (54.5% ABV)\u003c\/strong\u003e. The experiment is the proof the whiskey comes off the still: the \u003cstrong\u003eHigh\u003c\/strong\u003e profile is distilled at the highest proof in the set (120, per retailers), which strips out more of the heavy grain compounds before the barrel. The distillate goes into the oak clean and lean, so the wood and fruit do the talking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eYou can taste the difference. Retailers describe bright orchard fruit, crisp apple or citrus, light floral honey, and a cleaner wood spice, with some tasters finding pear, seasoned oak, and honeysuckle, instead of the heavy, dense sweetness of the Low profile. It’s a bottle for people who like to understand how bourbon works: buy it with the Low and Middle and compare. It’s also simply a bright, fruit-forward 8-year-old bourbon at 109 proof, good neat or with a few drops of water. Hardin’s Creek is Beam’s series for experiments and rare releases, named for the creek tied to Jacob Beam’s early distilling in 1795, and this one is a limited release.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 dir=\"ltr\" aria-level=\"5\"\u003eAbout the Bottle\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKentucky straight bourbon, aged 8 years\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh distillation profile; one of three in the Distillation Profile Series\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e109 proof (54.5% ABV); mash bill undisclosed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJames B.
