Jim Beam Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey 1L Jim Beam

Jim Beam Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey 1L - RV Drinks

Produced since 1795 and widely credited with helping define the entire bourbon category, this classic contains no additives or artificial colouring, aged a minimum of four years in new charred oak as required by law for anything labelled straight bourbon. Toasted oak opens the nose alongside hints of caramel, cinnamon and candied apple, developing into a spiced palate with vanilla close behind, running through almond, toast and a hint of dark chocolate at mid-palate, closing on a medium finish built largely from oak and pepper spice that's made this reliably enjoyable both neat and mixed.
