Beam Distilling Co. in Clermont, Kentucky. All three are \u003cstrong\u003e8 years old\u003c\/strong\u003e, made from identical mash bills and fermentation, and bottled at \u003cstrong\u003e109 proof (54.5% ABV)\u003c\/strong\u003e. The only variable is the proof the whiskey comes off the still, and the \u003cstrong\u003eLow\u003c\/strong\u003e is taken off at the lowest, \u003cstrong\u003e105 proof\u003c\/strong\u003e. That keeps more of the heavy grain character, oils, and fermentation flavor in the distillate before it ever touches a barrel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe result is bold, robust bourbon. Retailers describe a nose of rich caramel, toasted nuts, and earthy oak, a palate of concentrated caramel, dark baking chocolate, roasted nuts, and pronounced barrel char, and a long, warming finish of lingering cocoa, toasted nuts, and charred oak. It’s the bottle for people who like their bourbon dense and dark, the counterpoint to the bright, fruit-forward High, and it’s best tasted next to the Middle and the High to see what one change at the still can do. Pour it neat or with a few drops of water. Hardin’s Creek is Beam’s series for experiments and rare releases, 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\u003eLow distillation profile (105-proof target); 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.
