Review: Jim Beam White Label and a Whiskey Element


Jim Beam White Label is known to be a smooth, inexpensive easy drinking American Bourbon, to me, this is the perfect test case for a Whiskey Element.

At 24 hours the Signature Whiskey Element starts to add some depth to this Whiskey with elements of caramel, vanilla spice, clove, with a light heat on the palate.  A nice bit of complexity to a straight forward Bourbon.

48 hours brings big changes.  The underlying corn, and other sweet flavors really start to come out along with cinnamon, coconut, toasted oak, and light heat in the mid palate and finish. At this stage Jim Beam White Label really starts to take on most of the major characteristics of a 4 year Bourbon, complete with the heat on the finish.  A splash of water brings out the flavors even more and makes this inexpensive American Bourbon closer to a sipping whiskey.
