Jim Beam Black Label Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey, 70 cl

Product Information

Jim Beam Black actually tastes good and is well-balanced, touching on sweet, herbal, fruity, oaky, spicy, and earth flavors. A perfect fusion of whiskies aged for 8 years, this 43% expression comes complete with two classy branded glasses from which to enjoy the famous old bourbon. As an FYI, I bought and use these Glencairn glasses for everything (they’re the best): Glencairn Crystal Whiskey Glass Set of 6, Set of 4, Set of 2, or just one. Because Jim Beam Black is the upgraded version, my guess is that it’s also 4 years old but blended with older (and better) bourbon that would not go into Jim Beam White.

I hate hammering away at this point (and often in other reviews) that nothing stands out or feels that rich, but nothing ever feels out of place either. These additional years of ageing provide Jim Beam Black with an enjoyable full-bodied flavour with distinctive notes of smooth caramel and warm oak. v=1633717868","width":1280},{"alt":null,"id":20561726930995,"position":2,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":1.

Our premium, 86-proof bourbon whiskey spends years longer being aged in our American White Oak barrels than our original Jim Beam.

At first, Jim Beam Black has slightly nutty caramel, vanilla, roasted oak, dried apricot, orange, cinnamon, toasted grain, caraway seed, dried grass, licorice, red apple, and a hint of mint. I’ve seen both versions, and recently found (and bought) a handle of the 8 year for old time’s sake. There’s a hint of peanut shells but the wood is the strongest note and seems to overpower some of the more nuanced parts of this otherwise soft nose.This Bourbon has been aged for six years and is one of the most recognisable whisky brands in the world.
