The series uses one mash bill and one fermentation across three expressions, changing only the distillation setting: Low at 105 proof, Middle at 115 proof and High at 120 proof.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cp style=\"font-size: 16px;\"\u003eThe High Distillation Profile sits at the top of that range. Distilling at 120 proof removes more of the heavier grain-derived compounds before the whiskey ever sees a barrel, and the label describes the result as a whiskey that \"peaked at the higher end of our distillation spectrum,\" with flavor compounds \"deftly balanced\" for a profile that \"leaves a light yet lasting impression.\" It was aged 8 years at the James B. Beam Distilling Co. in Clermont, Kentucky, and bottled at 109 proof (54.5% ABV).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 style=\"font-size: 19px; color: #6a3d99; margin-top: 30px;\"\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp style=\"font-size: 16px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Orchard fruit, fresh apple and floral honey.\u003cbr\u003e\n  \u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bright apple and citrus with light honey sweetness.\u003cbr\u003e\n  \u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Delicate wood spice and a lighter fruit impression.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 style=\"font-size: 19px; color: #6a3d99; margin-top: 30px;\"\u003eWhy Collectors Seek This Out\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cul style=\"font-size: 16px; padding-left: 20px;\"\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003ePart of the Hardin's Creek Distillation Profile series from James B.
