Hardin's Creek Low Distillation Profile 8yr Bourbon
The Hardin's Creek Distillation Profile Series explores how the structural "proof off the still" alters flavor development when all other variables remain identical. Each expression is aged for 8 years, bottled at 109 proof.
THE CONCEPT
This profile is taken off the still at the lowest proof of the trio. Distilling to a lower ABV preserves a higher concentration of fatty acids, fusel oils, and grain character directly from the fermentation process.
TASTING NOTES
Emphasizes deeply robust, rich, and earthy notes. It is dominated by heavy barrel char, dark baking chocolate, nutty undertones, and dense, concentrated caramel.
