Craig Beam’s First House Release: Jackson Purchase Full Proof

Meet the "Dream Team" Behind Jackson Purchase: Craig Beam & Terry Ballard Is this the best 4-year-old bourbon on the market? Join us as we dive into Jackson Purchase Batch No. 1 Full Proof, the historic first house-release from a distillery that is rapidly becoming the talk of Western Kentucky. We recently attended BourbonCon in Lexington, KY, where we had the honor of meeting the legendary Craig Beam (7th generation distiller, formerly of Heaven Hill) and Terry Ballard (formerly of Willett). This "Dream Team" has revitalized a dormant facility in Hickman, KY, bringing a 100% copper "Ghost Still" back to life to create something truly special. In this tasting, we explore how the unique, humid microclimate of the Mississippi River Valley makes this 4-year bourbon drink like it’s 8 years old. From the deep brown sugar and floral notes on the nose to the surprising "pop" of rye spice on the finish, this 117.8 proof pour is a game-changer. In this video: * The history of the "Ghost Still" and Jackson Purchase Distillery. * Meeting Craig Beam and the story behind Batch No. 1. * Deep-dive tasting notes: Brown sugar, caramel, black pepper, and floral rye. * Why this $59 MSRP bottle is a "Buy and Back it Up" recommendation. ### **Connect With Us & Support The Journey!** 🥃 **Become a Patron & Get Exclusive Content:** https://www.patreon.com/cw/YourBourbonJourney 🌐 **Visit Our Website:** https://yourbourbonjourney.com/ 🔔 **SUBSCRIBE HERE:** https://www.youtube.com/@YourBourbonJourney?sub_confirmation=1 📸 **Instagram:** https://www.instagram.com/yourbourbonjourney/ 👍 **Facebook:** https://www.facebook.com/YourBourbonJourney ❌YOUR BOURBON JOURNEY DOES NOT SELL ALCOHOL❌ ✴️ Jackson Purchase Batch No. 1 Full Proof Classification: Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey Company: Jackson Purchase Distillery Distillery: Jackson Purchase Distillery (Hickman, KY) Mash Bill: 70% Corn, 20% Rye, 10% Malted Barley Age: 4 Proof: 117.8 ❌YOUR BOURBON JOURNEY DOES NOT SELL ALCOHOL❌ 🥃 Video Chapters 0:00 – Intro: A Better Way to Start Monday 0:26 – Meeting Craig Beam at BourbonCon 0:55 – The Dream Team: Craig Beam & Terry Ballard 1:05 – The "Ghost Still" & Hickman, KY History 1:22 – Specs: Mash Bill, Age, & Proof 1:49– The Humidity Factor: Why 4 Years Tastes Like 8 2:55 – The Nose: Brown Sugar & Floral Rye 3:55 – The Palate: Caramel, Pop, & Vigor 4:55 – The Finish: Black & White Pepper 6:44 – Final Verdict: Price & Value (Buy or Pass?) 🚨REMEMBER TO ALWAYS DRINK RESPONSIBLY🚨 ❓Questions❓ YourBourbonJourney@gmail.com NOTE: The spirit in this review was purchased by us.
