Extra-aged Kentucky straight bourbon with full-bodied caramel and oak.
What it is
Jim Beam Black is a Kentucky straight bourbon, aged 7 years and bottled at 90 proof (45% ABV). It spends years longer aging in American white oak barrels than original Jim Beam, and those extra years give it a full-bodied flavor with notes of smooth caramel and warm oak. It is a step up in depth that still keeps the easy, approachable Jim Beam character.
