Jim Beam Black Cherry Whiskey

Honors his recent return to our homeland.

Jim beam black cherry whiskey. Reigning supreme in kentucky over two centuries ago the stately red stag witnessed the birth of beam and with it the birth of our legendary bourbon. It has a syrupy viscous feel but just enough whiskey bite to be drinkable straight up or mixed with ginger ale. Shake vigorously and strain into whiskey sour glass. It s sweet a bit thick but 80 proof warming and the bourbon the beam cinnamon note comes out clearer now is dominant over the cherries here.

It s those extra years of aging that give jim beam black its full bodied flavor with notes of smooth caramel and warm oak. Our premium 86 proof bourbon whiskey spends years longer being aged in our american white oak barrels than our original jim beam. But through it all it never lost its wild inventive roots. This bold dark ripe black cherry liqueur infused with fine kentucky straight bourbon whiskey.

Mix jim beam with lemon juice sugar and ice in shaker. Garnish with lemon wedge and cherry. There s a slight artificiality to the cherry taste and hardly any bite from the bourbon and more like a liqueur but perfectly pleasant. As one of the pioneers of flavored bourbon it blazed uncharted paths to become known and loved for its balance of soft dark cherry aromas backed by traditional bourbon oakiness.

Look for strawberry jam fragrance and a big raucous sticky supersweet vanilla and cherry soda flavor. This black cherry infused bourbon is just plain fun. Free to roam fearless and strong. Tasting notes by lew bryson for whisky advocate smells like sweet dead ripe cherries mashed up in bourbon with some brown sugar and just a dust of cinnamon.
