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\u003cp style=\"font-size: 16px;\"\u003eThe Low Distillation Profile sits at the bottom of that range. Distilling at a lower proof retains more of the grain-derived compounds from fermentation, giving a heavier distillate, and the label describes the result as a whiskey that \"bloomed at the lower end of our distillation spectrum,\" with \"abundant flavor compounds\" so that \"a rich and lush profile flourishes.\" 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\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 Rich caramel, toasted nuts and earthy oak.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dark baking chocolate, concentrated caramel and pronounced barrel char.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Roasted nut, charred oak and earthy cocoa.\u003c\/p\u003e\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.
