The new 90-proof expression represents a strategic shift for the brand, moving beyond limited-run releases into wider national availability. Developed by the Taub family alongside master blender F. Paul Pacult, the spirit sources liquid from Kentucky, Ohio, and Indiana. Pacult designed the blend to balance the structural foundation of corn with the spice and softness of rye, wheat, and malted barley.

Jacob’s Pardon Debuts First Bourbon Rooted in Prohibition History
In 1935, Franklin D. Roosevelt granted a presidential pardon to brothers Jacob and Abner Taub after their 1929 arrest for bootlegging. Nearly a century later, that family saga informs the distillery’s first-ever bourbon, a four-grain blend now arriving on national shelves with a suggested retail price of $59.99.
"Blending takes patience. Countless combinations are evaluated until every element transforms into perfect harmony," said Pacult. The resulting profile features notes of cherry, honey, and orange, finishing with a structure intended to perform as well in a cocktail as it does neat. Marc D. Taub, founder of Jacob’s Pardon, noted that this release aims to bring the brand’s commitment to quality to a broader audience of bourbon enthusiasts following the success of their earlier Heritage Collection.
