Jacob's Pardon is expanding its whiskey lineup with its [first bourbon](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/limitededition-bourbon-expression), giving drinkers a bottle that works for a neat pour or a [mixed drink](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bourbon-water) without asking them to choose between the two. The release is a 90-proof bourbon developed with whiskey expert F. Paul Pacult and built from a four-grain blend.

The bourbon combines whiskey from three states in a [multi-distillery blend](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brush-creek-distillery), giving the pour a wider base than a single-source bottle. At $59.99, it sits in premium territory without moving into collector-only pricing. It is available nationally, so the bottle moves beyond the brand's earlier small runs.
