What does Whiskey Review: Hardin’s Creek Jacob’s Well smell like?

Grapes with apple and pear slices put pictures of charcuterie boards in my mind. There is an overabundance of bright lemon oil, which is reminiscent of Pledge. The baking spices are well balanced as a middle layer amongst all the fruit. The whiskey gets a bit sharp at the end, so watch your nostrils.

There is a lot to like about Hardin’s Creek Jacob’s Well on paper. At 54% ABV and $150, let us see if it lives up to expectations.

Palate

The baking spice, particularly nutmeg and star anise, maybe subdued fennel, greet the tongue. The whiskey has layers of depth in which warmth builds up. Cocoa nibs and a little coffee bean come through in one layer, however the finish wows with leather and tobacco leaf. Black pepper lingers with oak and dried apple slices for the finale.

Finish

Hardin’s Creek Jacob’s Well is right in the age range where I like my bourbon. The blend of both very mature traditional and high-rye bourbons adds layers upon layers. It may be too spicy for some, but if you’re the right princess, then this is the ogre for you.

The Bottom Line

Hardin’s Creek Jacob’s Well is outstanding — one of those bottles that reminds you why you fell in love with whiskey in the first place. If you see it at $150, do not hesitate. This one earns a permanent spot on the shelf.
