JIM BEAM DISTILLER’S CUT BOURBON WHISKEY

‘

Detailed Description
This Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey was aged five to six years. It features a medium body and combines caramel sweetness with charred oak, enriched with light fruit notes. The premium expression offers a smooth and complex mouthfeel with a warm, lightly charred oak finish. It has a dark amber color with aromas of soft charred oak, sweet caramel, vanilla and hints of dried fruit.After aging, bourbon typically goes through a chill filtration process, which involves forcing the liquid through a dense filter to remove fatty acids formed during distillation. Jim Beam Distiller’s Cut skips this step, which results in a fuller taste and palate feel. This can also cause the liquid to look cloudier compared to filtered bourbons, especially on the rocks.
Jim Beam Distiller’s Cut Bourbon Whiskey Tasting Notes
Nose: A little smoky with some ethanol. Toffee, vanilla and peanut brittle follow. Overall, the aroma is definitely on the more subtle side.
Palate: The mouth feel is oily and slightly thin, with a nice warming presence. The flavor is a well-balanced trio of toffee, vanilla, and old leather.
Finish: More smoke on the finish along with toffee. Leather and tobacco make an appearance, but stay in the background. It is a shorter finish with only a little warmth.
