ShelfRead verdict
Budget basic
Does the job and doesn't pretend otherwise. Bottom-third reviews at a bottom-third price. Breaking Bourbon gives it 2.5/5, vs. 3/5 for the typical bourbon (357 rated). Whiskybase drinkers give it 76.7 across 71 ratings, vs. 84.3 for the typical bourbon (51 rated). Thin data, two sources.
Jim Beam Black Extra Aged is a premium Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey made from the original Jim Beam recipe but aged longer in charred white oak barrels, resulting in a smooth, full-bodied flavor with notes of caramel, vanilla, and oak. Bottled at 86 proof, it is designed to be sipped and savored.
