You want a whisky that just works, no homework required. This is the one. Pour it over a couple of ice cubes after a long day and you get warm caramel, a hit of vanilla and a soft oaky hum that wraps around your shoulders. It's the best-selling Kentucky bourbon on the planet for a reason: nothing to figure out, nothing to forgive. The 350ml is the perfect size for a weekend in or topping up the bar cart, and we'll have it at your door fast, whatever the hour.
Amber in the glass, and the nose leads with vanilla and oak with a little spicy backdrop, the kind of sweet-woody smell that makes a room feel cosy. First sip is mellow and medium-bodied, with caramel and vanilla rolling into toasted oak and a gentle peppery tickle from the rye. It's smooth and refined rather than fiery, so it goes down easy without ever tasting thin. The finish is medium and warm, leaving that classic bourbon sweetness hanging around.
The details
Pairs well with
Where it's from
This is Kentucky to the core. The Beam family has been distilling here since Jacob Beam sold his first barrels back in 1795, and seven generations later they're still at it from the distillery in Clermont, Kentucky. The recipe is a sour mash of mostly corn with a touch of rye and malted barley, aged a minimum of four years in brand-new charred oak barrels, which is double what the law actually requires. That extra time in fresh oak is where all the caramel and vanilla come from. The name? It honours James Beauregard Beam, who rebuilt the distillery by hand after Prohibition lifted.
