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.
No me convenció. No le encuentro muchos puntos a favor. No es un whisky para el disfrute. Cumple su función si te querés emborrachar, pero no pidas maravillas de este whisky 4.5/10
The most inexplicably popular whisky on the market. Tasted like vegetables and straight alcohol. This is hands down the worst purchase I made of any spirit, but I did once buy a beer that tasted like socks soap and bitterness, so I'll give Jim beam a 2. I probably average around 7/10 for reviews, I just really really hated this whisky.
Having decided I wanted a change from Scotch, I bought both JB white and black label, Knob Creek 9, Wild Turkey 101 and Bulleit (NAS). I like them all, for different reasons, except the JB Black. I find that unpalatable and struggling to get through the bottle, even with mixers. The JB White is what I would regard as being a good, solid all-rounder. At the price, it deserves a 4.
Just finished a bottle, Loved it straight... Definatly going to buy some more.
OK, I'm an uneducated swine, but it's cheap, has no pretensions, and an utterly beguiling simplicity. Vanilla (lots!), toffee and maybe a little barley sugar all contained by a sweet, gentle oakishness. Corny, indeed, but in a good way. Every time I drink this, it gets harder to justify spending more on a bottle of anything. Full marks on VFM alone -how do they do it? Enjoy a shameless, simple treat!
