Tasting
How it drinks
- Sight
- Light gold with straw highlights; clean and bright, thin legs
- Nose
- Watery caramel with classic Jim Beam yeast spice, corn sweetness, vanilla, citrus zest, and red licorice. Light and straightforward — the archetypal young bourbon nose
- Palate
- Light-bodied with caramel, corn, vanilla, and a flash of young oak spice. Clean grain character with mild sweetness. The Beam yeast strain imparts a distinctive nutty, slightly funky character that is the house DNA. Simple but honest — designed for mixing and everyday drinking
- Finish
- Short finish. Corn sweetness, vanilla, and gentle oak fade quickly. Clean and uncomplicated. The world's best-selling bourbon earns its position through approachability and versatility
Tasting notes are AI-assisted and still being refined.
Maturation
The wood it came through
- New charred American oak barrels
