Tasting
How it drinks
- Sight
- Rich amber with copper highlights; deeper color than blended expressions from single barrel concentration, full legs
- Nose
- More herbal than blended expressions with less grain. Cinnamon and clove on the nose. The single barrel selection reveals individual cask character — each barrel is unique. More refined and less funky than the standard range
- Palate
- Full-bodied at 108 proof. Cinnamon and clove dominate with rich caramel, vanilla, and oak. The single barrel selection creates a more focused, concentrated bourbon than the blended core range. Less grain, more wood influence
- Finish
- Long finish with cinnamon, clove, oak, and lingering caramel. The barrel proof intensity sustains the flavor. More complexity and depth than any other Jim Beam core expression
Tasting notes are AI-assisted and still being refined.
Maturation
The wood it came through
- Single new charred American oak barrel
