Jim Beam – Double Oak Bourbon (75cl, 43%)

Jim Beam Double Oak is a twice-barreled Kentucky straight bourbon, bottled at 43% (86 proof) in a 750ml bottle. It is made from a mashbill of 77% corn, 13% rye and 10% malted barley. After its first maturation in freshly charred American oak, it is moved into a second set of freshly charred American white oak barrels, where it rests until the distillery team judges it ready. The nose is full of vanilla, caramel and roasted oak, with a note of mocha. On the palate there is caramel and vanilla alongside dried cherry, apricot, cinnamon and clove. The finish is medium to long, with charred oak, warmth and a trace of baking spice.
