Jim Beam Black Extra-Aged Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey
$23.00
86 Proof
Jim Beam Distillery
Kentucky
750 ML (Standard)
After the decent Nose, the Palate slightly disappoints as it's rather on the Thin side despite the decent ABV. The Flavor profile follows the Nose confirming this is a Kentucky Straight-Forward Bourbon. Not quite good enough as a sipping Bourbon but thoroughly enjoyable over Ice.
Sweet. The Alcohol is noticeable. Sweet Grain, Caramel/Vanilla & Ripe Fruit lead the way. Simple Basic Bourbon Aromas. Nothing special really. No Off-Notes.
Middle-Long and a little on the Thin side. Mainly Sweet but with a little Bitterness from the Oak towards the Medium-Dry end. I find Sweet Grain, Caramel, Vanilla, Nuts, Orange Peel, Charred Oak, Cherry-Flavored Cough Syrup, Nuts, Cinnamon, Pepper, Nutmeg, Cloves, Glue and Leather. The Alcohol is noticeable.
Eight years and 86 proof, Jim Beam Black Label, is made from the original Beam recipe. The perfect counterpart of age and proof leads to an intensity of flavor and smoothness untouched by other bourbons.
