-8%Pour this and you get warm vanilla, soft caramel and a friendly little kick of oak. It's the bourbon that just works. Neat after a long day, over ice while the nyama choma smokes, or doing the heavy lifting in a cola. No fuss, no homework, just smooth honest whiskey that the whole world drinks for a reason. When a mate asks "what should I grab?", this is the safe yes.
First thing you catch is the nose: big oaky vanilla, like sweet wood and a hint of toffee. Sip it and it's medium-bodied and gentle, caramel and vanilla up front with a faint nuttiness, then a light peppery spice rolls in from the rye in the mash. The finish is short and warm, not harsh, drying out with a touch of toasted oak. Approachable from the very first taste.
The details
Pairs well with
Where it's from
Jim Beam has been made by the same family in Clermont, Kentucky since Jacob Beam sold his first barrels back in 1795. Seven generations on, the Beam name still runs the show, and the bourbon is aged a full four years in fresh charred oak barrels, which is double the legal minimum for straight bourbon. That patience is where the deep vanilla and caramel come from. It's the best-selling bourbon on the planet, and it earned that the slow way.
