Jim Beam Black 7 Year Old Kentucky Bourbon US Edition 750ml 45%ABV

At 45% this is well above standard bottling strength, and it is worth treating that way. A few drops of room-temperature water pull the alcohol back and let the fruit and char come forward; you can always add more. Ice does the same job but chills the whiskey at the same time, which mutes it.

The published notes are specific: aromas of caramel, vanilla, and oak on the nose, smooth and creamy, with rich flavours of caramel, vanilla, oak, and a hint of spice to taste, and a finish of long, with a lingering warmth and refined smoothness

It makes a serious old fashioned, and in a whiskey sour the extra strength stands up to the lemon where a standard bottling gets buried. In cola you are paying for alcohol you cannot taste.

A 750ml bottle at 45% holds about 26.6 standard drinks. At $89.99 that is roughly $3.38 per standard drink, or $119.99 per litre of whiskey.

That is not the cheapest way to buy it. Jim Beam Black 7 Year Old Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey works out to $76.86 per litre against $119.99 here, so if you only care about the price of the whiskey, buy that instead. Buy this size because you want this bottle.

Current production and locally distributed, so this is a line we restock rather than a one-off. Held in our Sydney warehouse and dispatched the same business day on orders placed before 3pm AEST.

Australian allocation of some Jim Beam lines is thinner than people expect, and a bottle vanishing from a local bottle shop usually means that retailer stopped ranging it rather than that it was discontinued. We wrote about what actually happens to Jim Beam bottles in Australia if you have been hunting for something.

The rest of the range is on the Jim Beam Black Extra Aged page.

This bottle sits in the Jim Beam Black Extra Aged part of the range, and in the 750ml format alongside everything else on the Jim Beam 700ml page. Both pages carry the full context: what else is in the range, how the bottlings differ, and which one suits what you are actually doing with it.

The nearest alternatives we hold are Jim Beam Black 7 Year Old Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey, Jim Beam Black 7 Year Old Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey 1L and Jim Beam Black Extra-Aged Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey 1L. If you are choosing between them, the deciding factor is usually strength and format rather than the whiskey itself.
