Jim Beam Black 7 Year Kentucky Straight Bourbon
45% ABV | Aged 7 Years | Kentucky Straight Bourbon | 90 Proof | 750mL
Process & Profile
Jim Beam Black 7 Year is the bold, full-bodied expression of the world’s #1 bourbon, crafted to showcase the magic that happens after seven years in the barrel. Aged significantly longer than the original Jim Beam, this 90-proof bourbon rests in new, charred American oak barrels where it reaches what the distillery calls “the sweet spot” — the perfect balance between rich flavor and smooth drinkability.
During its extended time in cask, the whiskey develops a deeper gold hue and an enhanced profile of caramel, warm oak, and soft vanilla. The result is a sippable, matured bourbon that stays true to Jim Beam’s Kentucky roots while delivering more depth, structure, and character.
Tasting Notes
