Jim Beam White Label Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey 1L

Everyone on here crying about Jim Beam being terrible are snobs that are overlooking the fact that this is a low cost, introductory level bourbon. It’s purpose is to serve as a starting point for those who have never tried bourbon, as it is very mellow in all aspects. It will mix well in any cocktail for this same reason. Those of you complaining need to get off your high horse; obviously there are much better options, But for what it’s worth, it does the job. This is the bourbon that you buy as a round of shots at the bar, not what I’m going to pour neat and sip on at home. Hank Jr. sang about Jim Beam in many of his songs, and if that doesn’t count for something I’ll be damned. Overall a fantastic cheap bourbon.

I used to be a “vodka soda girl” All throughout my 20s.... Then, at the Houston Rodeo BBQ Cook-off, A cowboy asked what I wanted to drink (obviously) I said vodka. He looked at me like I was nuts chuckled to himself as he was pouring the Jim Beam into a cup with Coke. As he handed me the frothy cup he said words that I will NEVER EVER forget:...: “Darlin’, I feel sorry for Vodka because tonight I’m introducing you to my friend Jim poor Vodka will never see you again.” I thought he was just flirting but turns out he was absolutely right. After one sip of that delicious Beam and Coke I’ve never looked back. Now, I can say with complete confidence that for the last six years and today. I’m a Bourbon girl!! It taste better sounds cooler anyways

Whiskey sour ingredients The whiskey sour (aka bourbon sour) is a classic cocktail that’s on the list of International Bartender Association’s IBA official cocktails. This means it has an official definition. Our version stays true to the original definition, with a few tweaks. The ingredients for making a whiskey sour recipe are simple! Here’s what you’ll need for this classic sour cocktail: Bourbon whiskey: as high quality as possible (you can use any whiskey, but we prefer the flavor of bourbon) Lemon juice Maple syrup or simple syrup Garnish of orange peel and cocktail cherry

BOURBON BLOOD, JIM! DANIEL'S DOESN'T KNOW JACK!

I started drinking this in the 1970' when my Grandmother offered me one! She died at 102, in 2005, but had her last drink before my mom put her in a home in the 1990's, but I would "occasionally" sneak in those airline bottles! She was very smart and a Good shot with a rifle, picking off baby rattle Snakes in her Colorado Back yard! Loved her! R.I.P. Grams!

Good mixer

3.5 stars. It's not the most tasty or the smoothest of bourbon to drink straight. But it's acceptable to drink considering its very low price. Just be sure to leave the bottle open for a while to let the air mix with it to give it a strong sweet caramel corn toffee smell. It tastes great as a mixer with a glass of iced tea-lemonade (Arnold Palmer) so that's why I always keep a bottle Jim Beam in stock.

Great mixer but no good straight

Jim Beam white label is a slightly better than bottom shelf whiskey. It's true whiskey, none of that "natural flavors" garbage on their label, because it's 100% bourbon whiskey. Just keep in mind that this is a mixing bourbon, not for drinking neat. I cannot shoot this without a chaser, it makes me want to vomit. Having said all of this, Jim Beam white label doesn't try to fool anyone into believing that it is more than what it is. If you can sip neat and truly enjoy, all the more power to you... and to be honest, I'm somewhat jealous, lol. But as a mixer, this is unbelievable! The harshness makes it difficult for the sugars of other beverages to completely mask. When I have a whiskey and coke, I want to taste that whiskey, and you get a nice punch to your coke from ... MoreJim Beam white label is a slightly better than bottom shelf whiskey.

I prefer the black label to this for mixing, but you still can't go wrong if you mix with this instead. My rating is based on mixability, price, and good times.

In all respects, I adore the original Jim Beam.

Love Jim Beam Bourbon for its constant, classic flavor and good times; it is pure elegance, looks fantastic, and is not pricey, unlike other overrated, overpriced bourbons; way to go, and thanks to the Beam family and everyone involved in the manufacture and distribution.

Optimal across my several criteria

It tastes OK. Not as sweet, smooth and warm as Knob Creek, and only 80 proof rather than 100, but Jim Beam is not as expensive. It competes well against Jack Daniels, by my standards. It's not packaged as fancily as Blanton's. My most recent bottle came in a plastic bottle with no handle. Another concession to cost so might be targeting a cost-sensitive audience.

The benchmark is Jim Beam.

Jim Beam serves as the standard by which all other bourbons are evaluated. Jim Beam is a mild, sweet bourbon that lies centered on the tongue. All bourbon drinkers always have it on hand and can enjoy it neat or blended. Invite your pals over for a blind tasting of various bourbons if you dare. You won't get your Jim Beam back from anyone. Don't get me wrong, there are numerous ways in which other bourbons are superior, but the majority of bourbon lovers I've met over the past 55 years prefer Jim Beam to unwind with after a long day at the office.
