If you’re looking for something else from Jim to setup to, check out their Bonded offer. For all these reasons, it’s not my recommended bourbon for your shelf, but it’s perfectly acceptable bourbon for fixing a drink. It’s dependable, theoretically what many people thing bourbon tastes like, and won’t move a drink outside of someone’s perception of reality. You’re unlikely to walk into any average bar and not find it. Again, nothing wrong with it, but it could be contributing more. In a Manhattan it feels a little aggressive, while in an old-fashioned it leaves a little desire for more complexity. In Cocktailsĭoes it taste like bourbon? Yes! Jim is by no means bad, but it doesn’t necessarily shave off all it’s edges. At under $20 for a 750ml the entire experience is acceptable. The finish is, for lack of a better word, present. The nose is not offensive, but might inspired a notation that it appears to be bourbon in the glass. The palate is neither refined nor complex. Jim Beam White Label is a budget bourbon, set your expectations accordingly. Savor: The ending is slightly astringent and a little sour. The palate actually gives of a little bit of a raw alcohol flavor and touches of spice. Heavy notes of charred oak, corn, and hints of red cherries come through. It gradually gets a bit more unrefined throwing more sharp alcoholic edges across the palate. Sip: The body is thin, and starts relatively smooth. Possibly a little vanilla or caramel or hint of pome fruit. Touches of mellowed corn and powder sugar come round with a touch of char. Smell: Maraschino cherries, sawdust, and peanuts come out at first. Sight: An old gold that’s somewhat toward the richer / sherried side. Now there’s nothing wrong with that – it can still make a serviceable drink. It’s a workhorse and a utilitarian whiskey that can be had for under $20. It accordingly shows up everywhere from casinos to ballparks to weddings to neighborhood bars. They produce a phenomenal amount of the stuff. Jim Beam is a whiskey that’s basically synonymous with bourbon.

It took me years to use that bottle – baking apples with it, using it in barbecue sauce, or anywhere else I could hide it. It was terrible – like buttered popcorn fell into a vat of maple candy flavoring that was aged in oak. One year I received a bottle of Cabin Fever Maple Whiskey, one of, amazingly, 3 that had ended up in a White Elephant game of 12 people. As we’ve gotten older – it’s become increasingly alcoholic, and has resulted in many bottles I would never have willingly purchased. You may also know this game as Yankee Swap, or in my family, Grab Bag. Every year my family plays white elephant.
