Jim Beam

Rich amber-copper; deep color from 7+ years of single barrel aging, full legs

Rich peanut butter — not dry like peanut shells but rich and sweet. Vanilla, soft honey, floral accents, a whisper of cotton candy and black licorice. The peanut note is Baker's signature — the Beam yeast strain interacting with the barrel

Bold and spicy at 107 proof without being overpowering. Rich peanut butter initially transitioning to drier peanut shell. Vanilla, char, deep cherry, and fennel. Well-aged and full-bodied with excellent balance between nut, wood, and sweet elements

Long finish with oak, spice, vanilla, and cinnamon. Cherrywood sweetness emerges at the end. The 107 proof sustains the complexity. Excellent value — comparable quality to Booker's at a lower price point

Amber gold; deeper than the NAS expression from additional aging, medium legs

Abundant cherry and vanilla. Sweet with a subtle touch of oak. The 10-year aging adds depth to the characteristically delicate Basil Hayden profile — more oak, more dried fruit, more complexity while retaining elegance

Medium-bodied. Rye spice up front layered with cocoa notes. The cocoa and oak mix creates a dry, coffee-like quality in the mid-palate. Big oak aromas complement caramel sweetness and wood flavors. Made permanent in 2024

Medium finish with oak, cocoa, and coffee notes fading through gentle rye spice. More substantial than the NAS expression — the extra aging creates genuine complexity while maintaining Basil Hayden's signature elegance

Pale gold with amber hints; light and elegant, thin legs — lightest-colored bourbon in the Beam portfolio

Delicate and spicy — peppery rye character, vanilla, light caramel, citrus, and floral notes. The high-rye mash bill creates an aromatic, spice-forward nose distinctly different from heavier Beam expressions

Light-bodied and smooth. The high-rye mash bill delivers spice — black pepper, cinnamon — balanced by light caramel and vanilla sweetness. Citrus brightness and floral notes. Designed as the easy-drinking entry to premium bourbon. The low 80 proof keeps it gentle and approachable

Short to medium finish with rye spice, vanilla, and gentle oak. Clean and crisp — the lowest proof in the Beam premium lineup creates the lightest, most approachable finish

Golden amber; warm tones from the toasted barrel finishing, medium legs

Less spicy than standard Basil Hayden with deepened notes of sweet caramel and a bright, light character. The brown rice mash bill creates a distinctly different grain profile — softer, more rounded. Mild cinnamon and hazelnut

Light and bright with sweet caramel, mild cinnamon, hazelnut, and gentle leather. The brown rice mash bill (replacing rye) creates the softest Basil Hayden expression — less spice, more sweetness. Toasted barrel finishing adds warm wood notes without char intensity

Medium finish with sweet caramel, hazelnut, and gentle leather fading through mild warming spice. The toasted barrel influence creates a uniquely smooth, sweet conclusion. An innovative departure from the high-rye Basil Hayden house style

Amber gold; deeper than White Label from the additional three years of maturation, medium legs

Deep nose with caramel, oak, cinnamon, and vanilla. More developed and richer than White Label — the extra aging adds oak complexity and dark caramel depth. Hints of dark fruit emerge

Full-bodied for its proof. Heavier caramel that is well-balanced and rich. More oak presence, cinnamon spice, and vanilla depth than White Label. The 7-year age statement (re-launched 2024) gives it genuine maturity. Dark fruit and gentle toffee mid-palate

Medium finish with caramel, oak, and lingering spice. More substantial than White Label — the extra years create a finish worth savoring. A significant step up in complexity for modest additional cost

Golden amber; slightly richer than White Label due to higher proof concentration, medium legs

Traditional bourbon — caramel, oak, vanilla — enriched with dark fruits, powdered sugar, candy notes, honey, and spice. Cherry and butterscotch emerge. More aromatic than White Label at 100 proof

Medium to full body. Candy corn and dark fruit leather mixed with sarsaparilla spice. Lighter notes of toffee, vanilla, wood, and raw grain. The 100 proof delivers more flavor intensity than either White or Black Label. Good balance of sweet and spice with a warming character

Medium-long fade of corn, caramel, wood, and allspice. More substantial finish than White Label — the bonded proof sustains the flavor longer. Excellent value for a bottled-in-bond bourbon

Deep amber; darker than White Label due to the extracted barrel liquid, medium-full legs

Deep char aroma with a smoky backdrop. Intense oak and vanilla notes. The devil's cut — liquid extracted from the barrel wood itself — adds a pronounced charred wood and intense oak character not found in standard bourbon

Full-bodied with intense oak, vanilla, and charred wood character. The extracted barrel liquid creates a uniquely bold, oak-forward profile. Smoky and woody with underlying caramel sweetness. A divisive expression — the heavy wood influence either delights or overwhelms

Medium-long finish dominated by oak, char, and vanilla. The devil's cut component creates a lingering woodiness that persists. Bold and unapologetic oak character throughout

Rich amber with copper highlights; deeper color than blended expressions from single barrel concentration, full legs

More herbal than blended expressions with less grain. Cinnamon and clove on the nose. The single barrel selection reveals individual cask character — each barrel is unique. More refined and less funky than the standard range

Full-bodied at 108 proof. Cinnamon and clove dominate with rich caramel, vanilla, and oak. The single barrel selection creates a more focused, concentrated bourbon than the blended core range. Less grain, more wood influence

Long finish with cinnamon, clove, oak, and lingering caramel. The barrel proof intensity sustains the flavor. More complexity and depth than any other Jim Beam core expression

Light gold with straw highlights; clean and bright, thin legs

Watery caramel with classic Jim Beam yeast spice, corn sweetness, vanilla, citrus zest, and red licorice. Light and straightforward — the archetypal young bourbon nose

Light-bodied with caramel, corn, vanilla, and a flash of young oak spice. Clean grain character with mild sweetness. The Beam yeast strain imparts a distinctive nutty, slightly funky character that is the house DNA. Simple but honest — designed for mixing and everyday drinking

Short finish. Corn sweetness, vanilla, and gentle oak fade quickly. Clean and uncomplicated. The world's best-selling bourbon earns its position through approachability and versatility

Deep mahogany-copper; the darkest of the Knob Creek range from 12 years of oak contact, heavy legs

Intensely oaky with deep caramel, dark chocolate, leather, dried fruit, and tobacco. Three additional years beyond the 9yo add layers of wood-derived complexity — more tannin, more char influence, more dried fruit

Full-bodied and oak-forward. Dark caramel, leather, tobacco, dark chocolate, dried cherry, and intense wood spice. The 12-year aging pushes the oak influence to its peak — tannins are present but still balanced by caramel sweetness. More serious and contemplative than the 9yo

Very long finish dominated by oak, leather, dark chocolate, and dried fruit. The 12 years of barrel contact create a finish of exceptional length and depth. For oak lovers, the pinnacle of the Knob Creek range

Deep amber-copper; noticeably darker than Jim Beam expressions from 9-year aging, viscous legs

Robust oak, deep vanilla, layered caramel, and dark brown sugar. Rich and inviting — the 9-year maturation creates an oak-forward nose with impressive depth. Hints of maple, dried fruit, and gentle char

Full-bodied and bold. Deep dark sugars, intense spice, heavy oak, and warming heat at 100 proof. Vanilla, caramel, and dark fruit mid-palate. The pre-Prohibition style delivers a robust, unflinching bourbon experience. Excellent balance between sweetness and oak tannin

Long finish with persistent oak, dark caramel, and warming spice. The 9 years of aging create a finish of genuine complexity. One of American whiskey's great values — full-bodied, well-aged bourbon at an accessible price

Amber gold with copper tones; rich color from 7 years of aging, medium-full legs

Sweet barrel notes balanced with spicy rye character. Cinnamon, clove, vanilla, and caramel with dried fruit and grain spice. The deep char barrels add a toasted quality

Full-bodied at 100 proof. Perfect balance between sweet barrel notes and spicy rye character — cinnamon, black pepper, rye grain spice balanced by vanilla, caramel, and dark fruit sweetness. The 7-year aging rounds the rye's natural spiciness into something harmonious

Long finish with rye spice, oak, vanilla, and lingering warmth. The 100 proof sustains the spice through a satisfying fade. One of the best-value rye whiskeys on the market

Deep copper-mahogany; intensely dark from 9 years in a single barrel, heavy viscous legs

Rich oak, deep vanilla, toasted nuts, dark caramel, and concentrated dried fruit. At 120 proof the aromatics are powerful and layered. Each barrel imparts unique character

Full-bodied and intense at 120 proof. Rich oak maturity, deep vanilla and caramel sweetness, and robust proof-driven spice. Dark brown sugar, toasted pecans, leather, and concentrated bourbon character. Benefits enormously from water which opens up hidden fruit. One of bourbon's great single barrel values

Very long finish with deep oak, vanilla, caramel, and warming spice that persists. The 120 proof sustains the flavor indefinitely. Complex and rewarding at a remarkably accessible price point

Deep amber-mahogany; intensely rich barrel proof color, very viscous heavy legs

Deep and complex — vanilla, nuts, and oak. Robust vanilla and caramel notes with a slightly smoky quality. The uncut, unfiltered presentation delivers maximum aromatic intensity

Rich and powerful at 124.5 proof. Balance between sweet caramel/vanilla, spicy cinnamon, and savory dusty oak. Full-bodied with extraordinary concentration. Classic Booker's profile — big, bold, and unapologetic

Long, warming finish with oak, vanilla, caramel, and persistent spice. The barrel proof intensity creates a prolonged, evolving fade

Deep amber-mahogany; rich barrel proof color, very viscous legs

Rich and desserty aromas with barrel char. Caramel, brown sugar, vanilla, and toasted nuts. Hints of dark fruit and leather

Rich and desserty, transitioning into barrel char with trailing hints of tobacco, pepper, and leather. Leans sweeter than some Booker's releases with a more dessert-forward profile. Full-bodied at 124.6 proof with remarkable smoothness for the proof

Long finish with barrel char, tobacco, pepper, and leather fading slowly. The desserty sweetness transitions to a drier, more savory finish

Very deep amber-mahogany; the highest proof of the 2024 batches at 130.3, extremely viscous legs

Dark red fruits — cherry pie, raspberries, blackberries — blended with brown sugar and a subtle layer of oak. The highest proof of the year amplifies the fruit character surprisingly

Intensely fruit-forward for Booker's. Dark cherry, raspberry, blackberry with brown sugar sweetness and robust oak backbone. At 130.3 proof, the most powerful 2024 batch — yet the fruit character balances the heat

Very long finish with dark fruit, oak, brown sugar, and warming spice. The fruit-forward character persists through the finish, making this perhaps the most distinctive batch of 2024

Deep amber-mahogany; rich and viscous, heavy legs

Salted caramel, vanilla, oak, brown sugar, and a hint of peanut brittle. The Beam family's peanut note appears in its most refined form

Caramel, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, dark chocolate, then pepper. A well-rounded batch that balances sweet, spice, and nutty Beam character. At 125.8 proof it's powerful but approachable

Moderately long with oak, cocoa, and pepper spice. Dark chocolate persists through the finish, complemented by warming cinnamon and vanilla. A fitting tribute batch named for Jimmy Russell
