Jacob's Pardon Small Batch Recipe No. 3 is a rare 18-year-old American light whiskey. The brand honors Jacob Taub, a Prohibition-era bootlegger. He and his brother were pardoned by President Franklin D. Roosevelt. Later they launched Baltimore Club Whiskey.
The spirit was distilled at MGP in Indiana from 99% corn and 1% malted barley. It then spent 18 years in uncharred new oak barrels. Just 211 barrels went into this batch. Master blender F. Paul Pacult bottled it at full cask strength.
That makes it a big pour at 71.4% ABV. Even so, the uncharred wood lets the corn speak softly. On the nose you will find turbinado sugar, cacao and creamed corn. Toasted marshmallow, cinnamon bun and English toffee drift in behind them. Black cherry, prune Danish and a pipe tobacco fragrance can show up too.
The palate is sweet, spicy and rich, with a moderate touch of oak. Caramel corn, corn syrup and sweetened breakfast cereal lead the way. The finish runs very long and feels gentler than you might expect, with a creamy texture. A touch of leather and dry oak comes through at the end.
This whiskey has won plenty of medals. It took Gold at the 2024 San Francisco World Spirits Competition. The 2024 TAG Global Spirits Awards and John Barleycorn Awards both gave it Double Gold. It also won Gold with 95 points at the 2024 New York World Spirits Competition.
Pour a small measure neat and give it a few minutes in the glass. A few drops of water, or a large cube as the brand suggests, will open it up. Dark chocolate, aged cheddar or a grilled steak make fine company.
