The "Jacob" in the name of this whiskey refers to Jacob Taub, who along with this brother Abner were great whiskey makers, but terrible bootleggers, who were caught in 1929 during Prohibition. They were eventually granted a presidential pardon in the 1930s, and went on to form the Baltimore Club Whiskey Co. In keeping with the spirit of such bottlings, this whiskey is bottled from a barrel selected by spirits expert and brand consultant F.
Paul Pacult from MGP distillery in Indiana. It consists of 99% corn whiskey with 1% barley malt, aged 15 years in what Pacult believes to have been previously filled barrels. .

Tasting Notes
"Pacult says he selected this barrel based on its "apothecary aspect", and there is indeed an atypical mix of flavors on the botanical spectrum such as sassafras and sarsaparilla (root beer), with a bit of pinecone, black pepper, and mint. Though it's not all medicinal, and these notes are mostly in the background to rich textures of brown sugar, creamy vanilla. It's one of those whiskeys to uncork during contemplative moments or good conversations. "
