Jim Beam Black 7 Year

Flavor is good but its a little thin. Smooth with vanilla flavors.

Nose: peanut butter, oakey Pallet: nuttey, vanilla, caramel Really good for the cost of this whiskey - value is great. It’s more complex than some other entry level whiskeys - good transitions between nose to pallet. Comparable to Evan Williams 1873 and some entry Knob Creek products.

Agree with professional review

Taste: There is some toasted marshmallow up front. It finishes with green apple and booziness. It is sweet with a slick mouthfeel. Look: Amber Smell: Vanilla and corn with an ethanol sting

At Jim Beam's beautiful distillery, i got to try a new version of the 7yo called Jim Beam Black, and i found it quite delicious. On the nose, i get: Lemon peel, yeast. Smells exactly like malted barley. Gooseberries, vanilla, cookie dough. After a first sip i got prunes and a classic bourbon aroma. Grassy. On the palate, i found red fruits caramel, Syrupy and metallic. Delicious Spices. Pepper. Sugary with milk. Aftertaste is sweet; spicy and sugary. Syrupy. Overall, a very good solid dram for an everyday sip. My score for it is 87 over 100.

Nose: Vanilla, fragrant, sweet Palate: Vanilla, hint of caramel, overall sweet, with some rough edges Finish: Short, baking spices with lingering sweetness and a little tannic bitterness This is what a flagship Jim Beam should be. The benefits of extra age and a few extra proof points really makes a difference. Now the end result isn't going to blow anyone's socks off. This is still a simple, thin, basic bourbon that hits the required sweet notes. It's on the cusp of being a solid sipper, but at this price point this could easily be the well staple of any bar.
