Jackson Purchase Distillery Releases Bourbon Batch No. 1
Jackson Purchase Distillery (JPD) has announced the release of Jackson Purchase Bourbon Batch No. 1 – Full Proof.
While the Jackson Purchase brand is new to the market, JPD has been distilling bourbon in Hickman, KY since 2021, producing more than 100,000 barrels exclusively for other distilleries and investors through the contract market. However, the JPD team held back a few barrels for limited releases, such as this one, under its own label.
For the barrels used in Batch No. 1, the distilling team created a mash bill of 70% corn, 20% rye, and 10% malted barley. The bourbon aged for 4 years in new white oak barrels with a #4 char, entering at 120 proof (60% ABV), with the final bottling at 117.8 proof (58.9% ABV).
Jackson Purchase Bourbon Batch No. 1 is described as having notes of “cinnamon spice and bananas alongside vanilla, caramel, and oak.”
Jackson Purchase Bourbon Batch No. 1 – Full Proof will go on sale September 5th at the Kentucky Bourbon Festival in Bardstown, KY, where Master Distiller Craig Beam and Assistant Master Distiller Terry Ballard will be on-hand to sign bottles. It will also be available at select retailers around Kentucky for a suggested retail price of $59.
