Jacob's Pardon 16 Year Sherry Cask American Whiskey

Spanish Oloroso Sherry Cask Finished American Whiskey | Aged 16 Years | 48.25% ABV (96.5 Proof) | 750mL | 99% Corn & 1% Malted Barley

Process & Profile

Jacob's Pardon 16 Year Sherry Cask American Whiskey is a limited American whiskey release from the brand’s Cask Collective series, built around mature 16-year-old whiskey and a distinctive Spanish Oloroso sherry cask finish. Distilled from a 99% corn and 1% malted barley mash bill, this whiskey brings a naturally sweet, corn-forward foundation before gaining additional depth from rare 50-year-old Spanish Oloroso sherry casks sourced from Bodegas Williams & Humbert.

The Spanish Oloroso sherry cask influence is a key part of what makes this bottle stand out. Oloroso sherry is known for rich, nutty, dried-fruit-driven character, and that finishing process adds layers of raisin, toasted nuts, caramel, dark chocolate, oak, and sweet sherry depth to the whiskey’s already mature profile. At 96.5 proof, Jacob’s Pardon 16 Year Sherry Cask American Whiskey offers enough structure for serious sipping while remaining smoother and more approachable than many higher-proof American whiskey releases.

Limited to 48 barrels, this release is especially appealing for collectors, sherry-finished whiskey fans, and drinkers looking for a rare American whiskey with Spanish cask influence. The result is a polished, layered, and dessert-leaning whiskey with old whiskey maturity, corn sweetness, and the rich complexity of Spanish Oloroso sherry cask finishing.

How to Enjoy

Jacob's Pardon 16 Year Sherry Cask American Whiskey is best enjoyed neat in a whiskey tasting glass so the Spanish Oloroso sherry cask finish can fully open. Let it rest for a few minutes before sipping to bring forward more dried fruit, raisin, toasted nuts, caramel, dark chocolate, oak, and spice.

A few drops of water can help soften the proof and reveal more sweet sherry richness, nutty depth, and mature oak. A large ice cube can also work for a slower pour, but this bottle is best treated as a sipping whiskey rather than a cocktail base. Its Spanish Oloroso sherry cask finish makes it especially well suited for after-dinner pours, collector tastings, and side-by-side comparisons with other sherry-finished American whiskeys.
