Jim Beam Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey Review

Jim Beam is the No.1 selling bourbon brand in the world; tasting this bottle, it's clear to see why it holds such widespread appeal. The nose is inviting, with a mix of cornbread, light caramel, and vanilla aromas. The palate, meanwhile, is soft, easy-drinking, and approachable. Admittedly, this bourbon tastes like the product of calculated engineering rather than small-batch “craftsmanship,” but at this price point, that's something to be celebrated.
