Jim Beam bourbon undergoes distillation at lower temperatures and is distilled to no more than 62.5%, the White label is aged for four years and has quite a high percentage of rye in the mashbill.
Quite sweet with gentle notes of vanilla and cut hay, a touch of fresh corn fields and a little cereal sweetness, like the bluegrass fields of Kentucky.
Good body with notes of toasty oak and all the requisite notes of vanilla and crème anglaise, a little spice and pepper with an acetone note.
Toasty oak and resin with a some sweetness.
One bourbon, one beer, one headache..
Better than JD
Average bourbon
I had this whisky with steak and it was a great pairing. A smooth start with a pleasant finish. This is a classic bourbon with vanilla and caramel.
New Bourbon drinker. Started after getting bored of beer. Started with Makers Mark which I enjoyed. This I am not so sure about but will give it a couple bottles before a final conclusion. Makers Mark I give 4 stars, Jim Bean 3.
