Jim Beam Single Barrel is a fairly expansive brand, ranging in proof, age, whiskey types, and even released in a variety of flavors. Jim Beam Bourbon is the flagship brand, though it shares a mashbill with other Beam bourbons including Knob Creek, Baker’s, and Booker’s. Unlike the latter three, however, Jim Beam generally seems to cater less to the bourbon enthusiast crowd. Despite this, Jim Beam Single Barrel is offered as a standalone bottling as well as a private selection option, giving enthusiasts the opportunity to discover something a little more special. This particular barrel was selected by CrossRoads Wine & Spirits located in the small city of Bryant, Arkansas. It comes in at the standard 95 proof and is from barrel JB7079.

On the nose apples, rye spice, and vanilla compete with a healthy dose of ethanol. The ethanol disappears with the sip, instead brining a well rounded mix of caramel, brown sugar, graham crackers, rye spice, and oak. While the mouthfeel is on the thin side at first, it coats the mouth, lingering into the finish. Sweeter notes of caramel and vanilla dominate the finish, with a hint of apricot and trace of rye spice sticking around.

Nose:

Sweet nose on vanilla and coconut milk, mint and mandarin, furniture polish and Manuka honey. Some banana, melon and hazelnuts, but not a trace of nail polish remover – something I often get on the nose with other Beam bottles. This is very soft and pleasant.

Palate:

Soft on the palate, despite the higher ABV. Honeysweet on… errr… honey. Caramel and the same fruit as on the nose, but with a lovely spiciness that is under control. Not biting or feisty. Think nutmeg, cinnamon and cloves. A touch of black pepper.

Finish:

The long finish becomes a bit more spicy, but never over the top, somewhat drying but not so much that you would reach for a glass of water. Totally devoid of any overt bitterness.
