Jim Beam Black Bourbon Review

The color is a dark golden amber.

Jim beam black bourbon review.

Hoping that this would turn out well i got a glass and started the review. I recently did some work on the jim beam double oak and had heard that many people preferred the jim beam black. As i mentioned before this is an easy drinking bourbon and would be appropriate as an inexpensive go to for cocktails or mixers. This gives it a more mellow and complex taste.

Jim beam black label review. That s why jim beam black is and always will be extra aged to taste and bottled only when it s just right. I prefer the black label too. And of course just like its younger brother our original jim beam it s best when shared with others.

Jim beam black extra aged bourbon was a real surprise for me. It belongs in any environment where you care less about having great bourbon in your glass and more about not having shitty bourbon in your glass. Jim beam black is 86 proof and double aged meaning it spends twice as long as jim beam original 8 years in charred white oak barrels. Jim beam makes great bourbon and it s on display in their small batch series which includes knob creek basil hayden s baker s and booker s based on how jim beam black extra aged is positioned and marketed in beam s portfolio it fills the gap between the inexpensive and basic jim beam white and the company s more expensive and complex small batch bourbons.

For this review it was the export market 6 year old which is labelled as triple aged so three times the minimum maturation period to be called straight bourbon.
