Description
The name ‘Double Oak’ refers to the maturation process, which involves initially aging bourbon in freshly charred American oak barrels, before the whiskey is moved for the second part of its maturation into another set of freshly charred American oak barrels.
Tasting Notes
Nose: Opens with aromas of rich vanilla and smoky oak. A tasteful layer of milk chocolate and a kick of toasted cardamom seed emerge.
Palate: Madagascan black pepper and charred oak toastiness are first to the fore, with the pleasant sweetness of vanilla ice cream, liquorice and burnt sugars following hastily. A balanced palate also suggests notes of fruit malt.
Finish: A medium-length finish concludes with lingering notes of brooding charcoal and musty leather.
Overall: Lighter and fresher than you’d presume, this is an impressively mature approach to what could have an ostentatious style.
Awards for Jim Beam Double Oak
What some of our whisky enthusiast friends have said about Jim Beam Double Oak
Quote 1 “This has exactly the flavour you would expect it to have as a premium Beam product. But sits very nicely in the current range. It’s spicy with a long enough finish, clearly the middle child between Beam and Knob Creek. As long as the price point sits there too, it’s worth having a bottle to hand.”
Quote 2 “If you like the bourbon flavour, then basically this is a strong flavoured bourbon. Plenty of vanilla and a nice kick. I’m recently ventured into bourbon from scotch and must admit I find these flavours a nice change and very interesting. Don’t bother if you’re stuck in your ways with a ‘type’ of scotch but otherwise enjoy!”
