About this deal

Our personal favorite for multiple reasons is Jim Beam White Label, but we will dive into why it is our favorite later. Offshore Island deliveries will take longer than two days including Channel Islands, Isle of Man, Scottish Highlands and Islands and Scilly Isles. Besides the fact that it is one of the most recognizable brands on the market, this Jim Beam has a distinctive appearance . It is marketed as a younger, livelier, and more affordable version of the venerable line. But is it really any good? Let’s find out together.

The honey is one of the last parts of the mixture that you will notice with its subtle undertones of sweetness infused throughout the entire bottle. It even has notes of butterscotch and crème anglaise which provide the final layer of rich texture and delightful taste elements to the mixture. For those that are looking to experience what a truly full whiskey bourbon selection tastes like, this is a great option to choose. White Label Flavor Profile I think something is a little off here. The bitters are a touch too bitter — there’s not quite enough flavor to properly counteract the power of the orange and bitter flavor. It’s much too orange-y for my taste.

Jim Beam starts with a fermented mash containing 77% Corn, 13% Rye, and 10% Malted Barley. That’s more rye that usual for a bourbon, but half as much as Bulleit uses in their spirit. Nevertheless, it still has well over half the grains coming from corn and so meets the legal requirements there.

The taste delivers on the promise of the smell with no surprises whatsoever. This is a proper bourbon with the proper bourbon tastes, the proper bourbon color, and the proper bourbon weight. The only departure from the norm is a bit of peppery spice on the finish that doesn’t overwhelm the spirit but instead acts as a pleasant aftertaste. Knob Creek is part of Jim Beam’s small batch bourbon series and it comes in at a respectable 60%. The main difference between Knob Creek and the standard Jim Beam offering is that the barrels are aged longer (ten years or more); they are then selected based on their flavor profile and bottled un-cut. This means that no water or sugar has been added to Knob Creek before it reaches your glass. Once fermented and distilled, the spirit is added to new charred oak barrels where it normally sits for four years before being bottled. In this case, it’s left alone for twice as long — a total of eight years prior to bottling, to allow the bourbon to absorb even more of the flavors. To finish it all off, this blend has hints of acetone which provides the right amount of sting on the tongue for those who don’t want to sacrifice their alcoholic flavor which most people love in terms of bourbon options. If you’re looking for a light yet robust bourbon option that is smooth and rich on the palate, this is definitely one that you should consider giving a try.If you’re already a bourbon drinker and are looking for a new variety to try, consider all of the aspects and elements about your current favorite whiskey selection so that you can compare it with these options to see which one contains your favorite aspects of a good Whiskey.
