Jacob’s Pardon unveiled a new release as the first of a Cask Collective Series: Jacob’s Pardon Cask Collective 16-Year-Old Oloroso Sherry Cask-Finished Whiskey.

Founded by Marc D. Taub and his son Jake, Jacob’s Pardon builds on their Palm Bay International legacy. The new release was crafted in collaboration with Master Blender F. Paul Pacult and Bodegas Williams & Humbert, the debut release of the Cask Collective Finish Series showcases exceptional craft and heritage.

“Nothing means more to me than spending time with my children on Father’s Day; that’s the greatest gift of all,” Marc Taub, President & CEO, Palm Bay International, said in a news release. “But for American whiskey lovers, this exceptional release might just be the next best thing.” 

Jacob’s Pardon Cask Collective 16-Year-Old Oloroso Sherry Cask-Finished Whiskey is an ultra-limited release — only 48 barrels — hand-selected by Pacult. This American whiskey features a mash bill of 99% corn and 1% malted barley, bottled at a robust 48.25% ABV. Aged for 16 years, the whiskey is finished in rare 50-year-old Oloroso sherry casks, sourced from Bodegas Williams & Humbert. 

For more than 130 years, Bodegas Williams & Humbert has been crafting world-class sherries and brandies, housing one of Spain’s most prestigious soleras. Today, under the stewardship of the respected Medina family — longtime friends of the Taubs — the bodega continues to honor tradition. Their contribution to this release was inspired by the legacy and ancestry of Jacob’s Pardon.

“I believed there was something truly special about this project, which is why I was eager to be a part of it,” Pacult said. “With Jacob’s Pardon Cask Collective 16-Year-Old Oloroso Sherry Cask-Finished Whiskey, we set out to craft an expression rarely seen in the whiskey world, with a remarkable depth and complexity, honoring the authenticity and craftsmanship at the heart of Jacob’s Pardon.”

The exclusive Jacob’s Pardon Cask Collective 16-Year-Old Oloroso Sherry Cask-Finished Whiskey will be available starting May 29 with an allocated amount at select retailers, at an SRP of $124.99 for 750ml.

About Jacob’s Pardon Whiskey

Nearly a century ago, Jacob and Abner Taub crafted and bootlegged their own whiskey during Prohibition to support their family. Then one fateful winter night in 1929, their world came crashing down during a sting that would land the brothers behind bars. Six long years later, President Franklin D. Roosevelt pardoned the Taub brothers. They were able to reignite their family business with their brother Martin and help launch Baltimore Club Whiskey. This would set into motion a family tradition that would span generations. Today, the Taub Family continues this legacy with the introduction of Jacob’s Pardon.
