Overview
Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey · 700ml

Jim Beam Black is the step up from the White Label most people know. It’s aged 7 years, against 4 for the standard bottle, and that extra time in the barrel makes a real difference. More oak, more caramel, more depth, but still easy to pour any night of the week.

The Black Label has been around since the 1970s and has changed a bit over the years. The 7-year age statement came back in 2024, after Fred Noe’s team tasted older batches and landed on 7 years as the sweet spot. We pull barrels from different floors of the warehouse to keep every bottle consistent. Caramel, vanilla and warm oak, with a bit of spice. Hard to go wrong with this one.

Distillery Information

Jim Beam Black first showed up in the 1970s as an older, richer take on the standard Beam. Over the years it carried an 8 year statement, then dropped to an “Extra Aged” label with no age stated. In 2024 Fred Noe, seventh generation Beam master distiller, and his team brought back a 7 year age statement after blind tasting older batches. Barrels are picked from a cross-section of warehouse floors, a practice started by Booker Noe to keep the flavour consistent from bottle to bottle.
