Jim Beam Black Extra-Aged Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey 1L

At 40% it has enough weight to drink neat or over one large piece of ice, which is not true of everything in the range. It does not need water, though a few drops will open the caramel if you want it sweeter.

The published notes are specific: oak, vanilla, spicy backdrop on the nose, medium bodied, mellow hints of caramel and vanilla to taste, and a finish of short with warm oak notes

With cola over plenty of ice it does what most people buy Jim Beam to do. In an old fashioned or a sour it works, and the range's better options for both are on the Jim Beam Black Extra Aged page.

A 1L bottle at 40% holds about 31.6 standard drinks. At $84.99 that is roughly $2.69 per standard drink, or $84.99 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 $84.99 here, so if you only care about the price of the whiskey, buy that instead. Buy this size because you want this bottle.

The matched shelf price at the major chains when we set ours was $91.99. Ours is $84.99.

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 1L format alongside everything else on the Jim Beam 1 Litre 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.
