Jim Beam Single Barrel Bourbon (95 Proof)

A quintessential bourbon flavor profile.

Great bourbon 👌! I was pleasantly surprised as Jim beam is considered quite low shelf whiskey, this was actually really good had it with Jack Daniel's Single barrel to compare and JBSB did not loose by much to JDSBS overall considering the price a solid 9. maybe even little higher. Nose: Rye spices, with buttery corn and oaky vanilla. Palate: Oak char leads into creamy vanilla, brown sugar, burnt caramel and peppery spice. Finish: Hints of dried apricot, toasty oak and baking spices. Overall: Great pour for the price but for few bucks more would still buy JDSBS instead.

Very similar taste to Jim Beam. A bit more bitter. Not worth the money

Nose: caramel, vanilla, baking spice. Palate: creamy vanilla, brown sugar and peanuts/ peanut butter. Final thoughts: very good daily sipper for the price. First time finding a dominant peanut flavor on the Palate. Definitely worth buying and recommend it as a starter or change up in someone's cabinet.

I get chocolate and oak on the nose of this. Great nose. The palate has some nice caramel, oak, and dried apple. The finish is moderate with some good rye spice notes. This is a good pour that gets lost in Beams other offerings. Would prefer this at 100 proof or higher. Solid offering that you will not regret purchasing.

I've been all of the Jim Beam small batch series for a while now--which I'm very high on. Now I'm turning to the Jim Beam core range with this single barrel offering. I've yet to try a "Jim Beam" branded product that I enjoyed. Let's see if this is the one. Barrel No. JB 8375 Nose: Some classic Beam notes of peanut brittle, orange peel, brown sugar, caramel, and vanilla. Some candy corn, toffee, and gala apple. Bitter cocoa and oak. Clove, nutmeg, allspice, and cinnamon spice. Palate: Caramel, vanilla, milk chocolate, and brownie. Gala apple and peach. A touch of cocoa and brown sugar. Mid-palate is dominated by clove, nutmeg, allspice, cinnamon, and oak. While it's not the most complex, it's polished and quite tasty. Finish: Loads of bitter cocoa. Peanut brittle, orange peel, and some dried apricot. Moderate length finish. Very good bourbon. Not as impressive as the majority of the Small Batch Series, but still solid in its own right. I've sampled a couple other Jim Beam Single Barrels. This is the best. Your mileage will vary. This particular barrel was not spectacular in any one way. But it is remarkably consistent and is a great embodiment of the classic. Jim Beam profile. And it offers great VFM. At $30, I can only think of one whiskey I've enjoyed this much that was cheaper (that'd be Buffalo Trace.) Keep in my mind whiskey is expensive here in Jersey. Regardless, this gets the job done. I think I've found the first Jim Beam branded product that I can get behind.
