Jim Beam Honey 700ml – The Bottle That Converts Non-Whiskey Drinkers
Sweet, but not the sugary mess people expect. The nose is woody with a hint of vanilla, the honey arrives floral rather than syrupy, and the finish is mellow and warm. It works because the bourbon underneath is still recognisable.
This is the bottle we hand to anyone who says they do not like whiskey. Honey Jim Beam is the softest way into the range, easier going than Apple or Peach and less serious than Red Stag. At $50.95, down from $69.99 and $5.04 under the $55.99 chain shelf price, it is also the cheapest way to test that.
Jim Beam Honey Whiskey at 32.5% – Why It Is Not 37% Like White Label
Honey is not straight bourbon. It is bourbon with honey liqueur blended in, and liqueur is bottled weaker than the spirit it is built on, so the finished bottle lands at 32.5% instead of the 37% you get in White Label. Every flavoured Jim Beam sits at 32.5% for that same reason.
The practical effect is on the maths, not the taste. Work 0.7 litres by 0.325 by 789 and a 700ml bottle holds 179 grams of alcohol, so 17.9 Australian standard drinks at $2.84 each. The same size in White Label holds 20.4 at $2.20. You are paying for flavour, not strength, and anyone treating a bourbon Jim Beam honey pour as a like-for-like swap is over-pouring by roughly 14%.
Jim Beam and Honey 750ml – The US Size and the Identical Per-100mL Price
The 750ml is the American release and it is in stock at $54.60, cut hard from $89.99. Here is the part nobody points out: at $50.95 for 700ml and $54.60 for 750ml, both bottles work out to exactly $7.28 per 100mL, and both cost $2.84 per standard drink. The bigger bottle is not better value, it is simply more whiskey at the same rate.
So buy on stock rather than size. If the 750ml is back and you want 50mL more in the cupboard, take it. Otherwise the 700ml costs less at the till for the same deal.
Jim Beam Honey Bourbon Against Apple, Peach and Red Stag
Honey is the mildest of the flavoured range and the easiest to mix. Apple at $79.99 and Peach at $79.99 are sharper and want soda rather than cola. Red Stag black cherry at $89.00 is darker and the one to drink neat.
Our recommendation is blunt. For mixing with cola, honey does not need to be in the glass at all, so buy White Label and save. For soda, ice and a squeeze of lemon on a hot afternoon, Jim Beam Honey is the best bottle on this site and it costs $38 less than Red Stag. Add $35.00 if you want it boxed, and the boxed range sits on the gift sets page.

Common questions
The 700ml is $50.95 with us, cut from $69.99. Dan Murphy's shelf price is $55.99 and their member price is $52.00, so we are under both without a card. The 750ml is $54.60 in stock. Both sizes cost $7.28 per 100mL, so neither is the smarter buy on price.
It is 32.5% alcohol by volume, the same as Apple, Peach, Vanilla, Pineapple and Red Stag. The unflavoured bottles are stronger: White Label is 37% in the Australian bottling, Jim Beam Black is 40%. The difference is the honey liqueur blended into the bourbon, which brings the finished strength down.
Soda water and a wedge of lemon is the best serve and the one we pour. Dry ginger ale works, apple juice works better than it should, and cola turns it flat and sweet. Neat over ice suits it in winter. It also makes a decent hot toddy with lemon and boiling water.
On price it makes no difference: $50.95 for 700ml and $54.60 for 750ml both work out to $7.28 per 100mL and $2.84 per standard drink. Buy the 750ml if you want the extra 50mL in the cupboard and the American label, and the 700ml if you would rather pay less at the till. The liquid is the same.
