Product description
Legent, the creation of Fred Noe, Jim Beam Master Distiller, and Shinji Fukuyo, Suntory Master Blender, is an extraordinary bourbon finished partially in sherry casks and red wine casks.
The drink combines the 220-year-old tradition of the Beam family and the 100-year-old art of Japanese whisky. Distilled in Kentucky, the bourbon aged in fresh, charred oak barrels was presented to the master Fukuyo, who poured some of it into Californian wine barrels, and some into sherry barrels. When the master considered that the maturation process was complete, he combined the aforementioned barrels with traditional Jim Beam bourbon. Legent debuted in March 2019 as part of the basic Beam Suntory offer.
