Jim Beam Double Oak (Unpacked) / 43% / 0.7l

With global sales of 9 million cases per year, Jim Beam leads the bourbon sales statistics.

Since 2004, Jim Beam Distilleries has been part of the Beam Suntory group, which has changed the presentation of whiskey and is showering us with new editions. Jim Beam Double Oak debuted in the summer of 2016. Like the flagship Jim Beam White Label, it is distilled according to a formula of 75% corn, 13% rye and 12% barley malt and aged for 4 years in freshly charred American oak barrels. If White Label is then aged, the bourbon presented here returns to re-charred barrels for an unknown period. Additional interaction with charred oak gives the whiskey "character" and depth of flavor.

Nose : Rich notes of caramel and charred oak, vanilla, milk fudge, cinnamon, milk chocolate, dried plums and a hint of leather.

Palate : caramel and charred oak again, cinnamon, cloves, pepper, vanilla cream, prunes and a hint of cocoa powder.

Finish: quite long, with notes of caramel, charred oak, vanilla, cinnamon and pepper.
