Jim Beam Double Oak Twice Barreled Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whisky 43% ABV 0.7l

In 1740, the Boehm family came to America to live the colonial dream; 48 years later, they moved to Kentucky and changed their name to ‘Beam’. Towards the end of the 18th century, German, Scottish and Irish settlers, who had brought their recipes from home with them, were already producing rye whisky in western Pennsylvania. However, when the US government offered incentives to settle in the West, many families moved to Kentucky. One of these farmers was Jacob Beam, who used his father’s whisky recipe to distil maize into a new, sweeter type of whisky, leading to the birth of bourbon.

Jim Beam Double Oak Twice Barreled is first matured traditionally in charred oak casks, which allows it to develop its initial intense flavours. After this initial ageing phase, the whisky is transferred to a second, newly charred oak cask, where it undergoes a further period of ageing. This double barrel ageing lends the bourbon a special depth and complexity that sets it apart from other whiskies and gives it its unmistakable character.
