Jim Beam Black is a premium, award winning Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey with a more flavorful character made to be sipped and savored. Aged years longer than our original Jim Beam, Jim Beam Black has full-bodied taste with smooth caramel and warm oak notes. This extra-aged bourbon has a balanced, rich and flavorful character with a deep mix of oak, cinnamon and vanilla aromas. Having spent years longer aging in our American White Oak barrels, it takes on a unique flavor that’s best enjoyed on the rocks or neat. And of course, just like its younger brother, our original Jim Beam, it’s best when shared with others.

After seven generations of master distillers, the Jim Beam family tradition continues today with Jim Beam Black and more. As the First Family of Bourbon, we were there when it all began. But we’ve never been the type to rest on our laurels. Always innovating, always taking bourbon to new heights—that’s the Jim Beam way. And after more than two centuries, we have no intention of doing things any differently. Since we sold our first batch in 1795, each of our family distillers has found an opportunity to push our story forward and keep the tradition of Jacob Beam alive for the next generation of bourbon drinkers.
