Jacob’s Pardon
Small Batch American Whiskey Batch No. 03

Category: American Whiskey

Date Tasted:
Country: USA
Alcohol: 71.4%
Golden amber color. Aromas and flavors of cinnamon and sugar spiced fried dough, vanilla corn creme brulée, burnt bacon and cinnamon candy, and BBQ sauce and burnt peanuts with a glycerous, lively, dry medium-to-full body and a searing, appealing, medium-length finish revealing accents of cinnamon, caramel and vanilla, brisket brunt ends, and scorched brown sugar. Good with surprisingly discernible flavors given the ABV, but also super hot and tannic, given the ABV as well; keep away from open flames, but keep safely within reach of your glass.

American Whiskey is a Beverage Testing Institute classification for specialty whiskies bottled in the United States that do not neatly fit other categories.
Some spirits producers in the U.S. have started crafting blends of different types or categories of whiskies together to create a unique flavor profile. Examples include products made from Single Malt Scotch Whisky blended with a high-rye Bourbon, or a 50/50 blend of straight bourbon and straight rye. Under federal TTB regulations these whiskies would fall into the 'Blended Whiskey' or 'A Blend of Straight Whiskies' categories. BTI gives these products the American Whisky category designation to better capture their producers' experimental intents to delineate them from the younger, lower-priced blended whiskies that often include neutral grain spirits and/or added coloring or flavoring.
