Sippable on its own but generally meant as a mixer, Jim Beam is basic, standard and mass-produced whiskey. It is cheap benchmark bourbon that serves as useful point of reference when comparing to the quality of high-end spirits. Smelling rather simple, sweet and spirity, the nose is not much of an event. Jim Beam tastes young and harsh with underlying wood sap sweetness, some toffee notes and a touch of detergent. The finish is really short and to the point. A simple and yet honest Kentucky Straight Bourbon that gives you what you are paying for.
