Product description
Of all the Jim Beam bourbons, the Black version has experienced the greatest evolution. It debuted as Beam's Black 8 years old, followed by Jim Beam Black 8 years old and Double Oak.
In 2015, we welcomed Black XA Extra Aged, but after a year and a half, the “XA” disappeared from the name. The changes were accompanied by a change in alcohol content – from 45% to 40%, and finally to 43%. The picture is completed by the Black 100 Proof 7 years old and Black Triple Aged 6 years old editions. The Jim Beam Black Extra Aged presented here debuted in 2016 with an alcohol content of 43%.

Finish: quite long and warming, with notes of charred oak, caramel, vanilla and a hint of pepper.
