About This Bourbon
Jim Beam Black Extra-Aged is the older, richer sibling of the white-label Jim Beam. It spends longer in charred oak than the four-year-old flagship, which shows as deeper caramel and more oak on the palate.
Tasting Profile
- Nose: Charred oak, brown sugar and vanilla, with a nutty, cereal note behind.
- Palate: Round and semi-sweet: caramel, toffee, a little baking spice and light tobacco leaf.
- Finish: Medium-long and drier than the white label, fading on toasted grain and oak.
Serving & Food
Good neat at room temperature, but it earns its keep in an Old Fashioned or a Boulevardier. Serve with glazed pork belly or spiced pecans.
Good to Know
Is there an age statement? No. This earlier Extra-Aged label carries none and is bottled at 43%.
Is it good in cocktails? Yes. The extra oak stands up well in stirred drinks.
