Jacob’s Pardon Bourbon
Jacob’s Pardon is an American whiskey rooted in an authentic Prohibition-era legacy. Founded by the Taub family, the brand pays homage to brothers Jacob and Abner, who were jailed for bootlegging in 1929 and later granted a presidential pardon by FDR. The brief was to create this new to world brand with one eye on the past and one on the future.
