Description

Premium bourbon with a more flavorful character made to be sipped and savored. This 86-proof, extra-aged bourbon ages years longer in white oak barrels than original Jim Beam. It’s those extra years of aging that give Jim Beam Black its smooth, full-bodied flavor.

Jim Beam Black Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey a.k.a. Jim Beam Black Label is labelled as “extra aged,” making it likely a blend of whiskeys aged around eight years. Those extra years make for a smooth, full-bodied flavor that has won competitions. The flavor of the whiskey itself softens and gives the barrel influences a chance to shine with vanilla and oak taking center stage before the signature Jim Beam hot-cinnamon finish. Jim Beam Black can be enjoyed neat or with a splash of water to bring out the flavors, but at such a competitive price, why not try it out in your favorite whiskey cocktail?

Jim Beam Black Label Whiskey Tasting Notes

Nose: The nose is quite complex and well-balanced. There are notes of crème anglaise and butterscotch, mixed dried peels and nuts, a hint of aniseed and lovely cereal sweetness.

Palate: The palate is full and thick with fruit. There are notes of vanilla fudge and honey, cereal sweetness, plenty of rye with a hint of cooked fruit.

Finish: The finish is of good length with a touch of toasty oak spice.
