Jim Beam Honey Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey 700ml

Cold, long, and over more ice than feels necessary. At 32.5% this is softer than straight bourbon and the flavour does the work, which means it needs a mixer with some acidity to keep it from turning into cordial. Chill the bottle: at room temperature the sweetness sits on top and the bourbon underneath disappears entirely.

Thirty millilitres to a hundred and fifty of mixer is the right ratio. A heavier pour does not make a better drink here, it makes a syrupy one. Serving suggestions for this particular flavour are on the Jim Beam Honey page.

Neat and warm, none of the flavoured range is much good, and this one is no exception. If you want something to sip, the straight bottles on the Jim Beam range are where to spend the money instead.

A 700ml bottle at 32.5% holds about 17.9 standard drinks. At $50.95 that is roughly $2.85 per standard drink, or $72.79 per litre of whiskey.

Against the other sizes we sell in this range, that is the cheapest per litre. The 750ml works out to $72.80 per litre. If price per drink is what you care about, this is the one to buy.

The matched shelf price at the major chains when we set ours was $55.99. Ours is $50.95.

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 Honey page.

This bottle sits in the Jim Beam Honey part of the range, and in the 700ml 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 Honey Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey 750ml. If you are choosing between them, the deciding factor is usually strength and format rather than the whiskey itself.
