Beam Distilling Co. in Clermont, Kentucky, designed to show how a single step in distillation can change a whiskey's character. Hardin's Creek is named for the creek where the Beam family's whiskey legacy began, and the line exists to explore the many variables of whiskey-making, from age and blending to mash bill, barrels and distillation. For this series, all three bourbons share the same mash bill, the same fermentation and the same eight years of ageing, and all are bottled at 109 proof. The only difference is the proof at which the spirit came off the first distillation, known as the low-wine target. Lower targets keep more heavy, rich flavour compounds, while higher targets produce a lighter, brighter spirit. The Low Distillation Profile was distilled to a 105-proof low-wine target, the lowest in the series, and the label describes it as blooming at the lower end of the distillation spectrum, where abundant flavour compounds let a rich and lush profile flourish. It is presented in an embossed bottle with a colourful illustrated label of a glowing dandelion and wildflowers before purple mountains. Expect a deep nose of concentrated caramel, dark chocolate and toasted nuts. The palate is rich and full, with toffee, cocoa, roasted pecan, baking spice and barrel char. The finish is long and lush. Taste it alongside the Middle and High profiles to explore how distillation shapes flavour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eABV \/ Proof\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eABV\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e54.5%\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProof\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e109\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSize\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e700ml\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCountry\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUnited States\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRegion\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eClermont, Kentucky\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eType\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eKentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAge\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8 years\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFirst Distillation Target\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e105 proof (Low)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSeries\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDistillation Series: Low (105), Middle (115), High (120)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDistillery\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eThe James B.
