Episode description

In this episode, Jack helps us with the taste notes of the Clermont Steep American Single Malt.  This is the first ever single malt out of the James B. Beam Distilling Co.

Clermont Steep is a whiskey steeped in influence from both process and place. Just as single malt couldn’t exist without steeping the grain, this whiskey couldn’t exist without Clermont, Kentucky – the soul place of the James B. Beam Distilling Co. and the heartland of American Whiskey distilling culture. Noe and his team hand-selected the American malted barley for the mash and used Beam family jug yeast in the natural fermentation process. It’s the same yeast that is used in all Beam products, adding a sense of familiarity to every sip. The single malt was then distilled on a column still and aged for five years in barrels that were toasted, then quickly charred to a char level 1 To learn more about  Clermont Steep and other expressions please visit https://www.clermontsteep.com/   Be sure to follow JACK on all social media as FB, IG, and TikTok as HOOD SOMMELIER    Be sure to follow CLERMONT STEEP on Instagram @clermontsteep For any of my merch Check out my website  www.hoodsom.com  Be sure to join my Patreon Community at www.patreon.com/hoosom  #whiskey #bourbon #jimbeam#kentucky #amaricansinglemalt
