Jim Beam Black Label

I have had Woodford Rserve , Makers Mark and Kentucky 8 Benchmark - this out-dos all of them. I really love this, Similar to the white label with more length.

Its possible to locate the taste of Jim beam white in here but its been modified to a new level. It has an immense waft of hardwood and vanilla at first , then it opens up to caramel. Slightly more burn that white and indeed Jack Daniels, there is corn and leather and wood for sure. The aftertaste is mild wood and perhaps burned popcorn. Its a fantastic bourbon and perhaps my favourite alongside Woodford reserve which is considerably more pricey.

Its a crazy crazy world we live in snap crackle and pop! it tingles all the taste buds.

The palate fulfils the promise made by the nose. Initial mild sweet corn. Following entry to the palate, the flavor moves to big, soaring oak, followed by, at the mid-palate point, wonderful, tremendous cleansing wafts of charcoal. The charcoal flavor is fantastic! Very cleansing! Last but not least, tsunami waves of vanilla wash across the palate.

This is a very smooth yet robust flavored whiskey. It goes down smooth with an almost tart after taste, which makes it hard to drink straight. This gentleman is best accompanied and suited. Overall a great product for a modest price.

White Label certainly a better starter but once you go black you never go back.

A true classic amongst the choice of a B Trace or my personal fav at this price point - Elijah Craig. Treacle and vanilla make for a rounded warmth when neat

the best drink in the world

I like the white label more, its little sweeter and simpler with its taste. For someone who is new to bourbons - get the white Beam.

black is the best bourbon ever

Pretty darn good for the price.

smooth and full of flavor far better than the white label

If your new to Beam then start here, any Beam cheaper then this is 'kitch' at best. Still a difficult bourbon to drink straight, but mixed its a cracker. Buy two bottles as only one will disappear faster then you realise.
