Description
The Jim Beam Black Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey 45% Vol. 0.7 l is a special premium bottling from the traditional Jim Beam company, which has been producing bourbon in Clermont, Kentucky, since 1795. With more than 225 years of experience, the brand is now one of the best-known and best-selling bourbon whiskeys in the world.
In contrast to the classic Jim Beam White Label, the Jim Beam Black matures significantly longer in heavily burnt American white oak barrels. This longer barrel ageing gives it a more intense, full-bodied character with more depth and complexity. Bottling at 45% vol. gives it additional strength and ensures a strong, aromatic flavour experience that makes it particularly interesting for connoisseurs and lovers of bourbons with a strong character.

The Jim Beam Black 45% vol. is ideal for drinking neat or on ice to explore the depth of its flavours. It is also an excellent choice for classic bourbon cocktails such as Old Fashioned, Manhattan or Mint Julep, in which it comes into its own thanks to its richness. In culinary terms, it is ideal with BBQ specialities, grilled meat, spicy hard cheese or even dark chocolate. Thanks to its intense profile, it is a bourbon for connoisseurs who value a strong and multi-layered character.
