Jim Beam Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey – 700ml
The World’s #1 Bourbon: A True Taste of Kentucky.
Discover the original, iconic taste of Jim Beam, the best-selling bourbon in the world. For over 225 years and seven generations of the Beam family, this Kentucky Straight Bourbon has been crafted with a commitment to quality and a respect for tradition. This classic 700ml bottle is a cornerstone of American whiskey, celebrated for its smooth, mellow flavour and rich heritage.
A Recipe Perfected by Seven Generations: The Jim Beam story is one of resilience and family pride. First crafted in 1795, our bourbon is still made with the same secret recipe and time-honoured methods today. We use a mash bill rich in corn, combined with rye and malted barley. The water we use is naturally filtered through the limestone shelf of Kentucky, making it iron-free and perfect for creating a clean-tasting bourbon.
Aged Twice as Long as the Law Requires: Every drop of Jim Beam is aged for at least four years in new, charred American white oak barrels—that’s twice as long as the law requires for a straight bourbon. This ageing process is what gives Jim Beam its signature smoothness and deep, mellow character, imparting notes of caramel, vanilla, and spice from the oak.
Tasting Notes:
- Nose: A sweet and inviting aroma with distinct notes of oaky vanilla and a touch of spice.
- Palate: A medium-bodied and mellow palate with flavours of sweet caramel, vanilla, and a hint of corn sweetness, all balanced by a background of toasted oak.
- Finish: A satisfyingly smooth and clean finish with a touch of oaky sweetness.
The All-American Serve: Jim Beam’s approachable character makes it incredibly versatile and perfect for mixing. It’s the ideal foundation for classic bourbon cocktails like a Mint Julep or an Old Fashioned. For a simple and refreshing serve that’s popular right here in Cradley Heath, try the classic Jim Beam & Cola:
- Fill a tall glass with ice.
- Pour over a measure of Jim Beam Bourbon.
- Top with your favourite cola.
- Garnish with a fresh wedge of lime.
