The Black edition from Jim Beam is a marriage of whiskeys aged for 8 years before bottling at 43%, slightly higher than the standard bourbon proof, proffering greater complexity.
Sadly now discontinued, why not try the newer Jim Beam Double Oak?
The nose is quite complex and well-balanced. There are notes of crème anglaise and butterscotch, mixed dried peels and nuts, a hint of aniseed and lovely cereal sweetness. The palate is full and thick with fruit. There are notes of vanilla fudge and honey, cereal sweetness, plenty of rye with a hint of cooked fruit. The finish is of good length with a touch of toasty oak spice.

Not very sweet. Not very harsh.
Half these people are drunk when Complaining about a most refined Kentucky bourbon as black label Is the best there is.
I'm enjoying s me right now.
A simple, linear, unsophisticated and quite mundane commercial spirit lacking any profound complexity or nuance. Hot, dry and somewhat bitter, this product tastes like it was aged for 8 weeks rather than years. Generally unappealing neat, perhaps tenable mixed. For a few extra bucks, Elijah Craig is in a whole different solar system.
This is the worst Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey I've had in quite a while. I can't even finish the bottle.
