✨ Technical Specifications
Hailing from Clermont, Kentucky, Jim Beam is a legendary name in American distilling, tracing its roots back to 1795 when Jacob Beam sold his first barrel of whiskey. The Straight Bourbon Double Oak represents a modern twist on this multi-generational legacy. Crafted from a traditional mash bill of corn, rye, and malted barley, this expression undergoes a unique two-stage maturation process. It is first aged in newly charred American white oak barrels before being transferred into a second, freshly charred oak barrel. This double-contact method coaxes out intense caramelized sugars, rich toasted wood notes, and deep vanilla undertones, creating a remarkably smooth and full-bodied spirit that honors Kentucky's rich bourbon-making heritage.
