Something magical happens to the whiskey in its seventh year in cask. We call it the sweet spot, where smoothness meets notes of caramel, vanilla, and warm oak, and the liquid turns a rich gold. This is the mellow whiskey you'll find in the new Jim Beam Black. Enjoy Jim Beam Black neat, on the rocks, or in a Jim Beam Black Old Fashioned. Charred oak with notes of brown sweets and vanilla. Full bodied with rich caramel and hints of baking spice.
