Jim Beam Black Extra Aged (Unpacked) / 43% / 0.7l
- Out of all expressions of Jim Beam Straight Bourbon, Black experienced the most changeovers.
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%.
