Jim Beam Original
Elegant. Smooth. Refined. That's what 4 years of aging in newly charred American white oak barrels does to our bourbon. But every drop is worth the effort, and we love the idea of sticking to our great-great-grandfather's recipe.

Jim Beam Black
Our premium, 86-proof bourbon whiskey spends years longer being aged in our American White Oak barrels than our original Jim Beam. It's those extra years of aging that give Jim Beam Black its full-bodied flavor with notes of smooth caramel and warm oak.

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, smooth caramel, plenty of rye and warm oak.
Finish: The finish is of good length with a touch of toasty oak spice.
