TASTING NOTES
Cocoa brown color, clean, and bright Initially, spicy fragrances of turbinado brown sugar, cacao, and creamed corn. Then notes that hint of toasted marshmallow, cinnamon bun, saltwater taffy, and English toffee. Engagingly sweet, spicy, even succulent, as the first taste profile gives off sturdy, moderately oaky flavors of sweetened breakfast cereal, corn syrup, and caramel corn candy. Finishes very long and surprisingly gentle, as the late-stage flavor is supported by a sinewy, creamy texture.
Nose: Cinnamon | Nutmeg | Spiced honey | Light black cherry | Walnut | Ethanol
Palate: Honey | Cinnamon spice | Syrup | Light aged oak | Candy corn | Proof is evident
Finish: Cinnamon spice | Dry oak | Leather | Chewy dryness | Lingering bold heat

About Jacob's Pardon
Brothers Jacob and Abner Taub made their own whiskey during Prohibition ... but one fateful, wintry night in 1929, the pair were arrested and jailed for violating the Volstead Act. Six years later, with the ink on the 21st Amendment still drying and Prohibition finally in the rearview mirror, President Franklin D. Roosevelt pardoned the brothers. This absolution would set into motion a proud family tradition spanning generations — which has culminated in the Taub family’s modern-day homage to their intrepid relatives.
Jacob’s Pardon marks the Taubs’ return to their roots as rectifiers in the spirits business. Today, third-generation Marc Taub (Jacob’s great-nephew) and his son Jake have been exploring America’s finest whiskey-, bourbon-, and rye-producing territories, cherry-picking select barrels … and befriending America’s foremost spirits expert, F. Paul Pacult, along the way.
Together, Marc, Jake, and Paul expertly blend this new family of whiskeys which includes a collection of ultra-fine, aged single-barrel releases and a series of small batches showcasing unique junctures in American whiskey.
Jacob’s Pardon was originally launched in late 2020 by father and son Marc D. and Jake Taub. The Taubs are most known for their wine and spirits import businesses, Palm Bay International and Taub Family Selections. The third and fourth generations of their family-owned enterprise created the brand as a “nod to Marc's great uncles' tradition of whiskey production. The family history dates back nearly a century with Jacob and Abner Taub during Prohibition.” The pair used spirits author F. Paul Pacult to serve as the master blender for the line. Recipe #3 is made up of 211 barrels of whiskey sourced from the Ross & Squibb Distillery in Indiana.
