Like all of our bourbons, the new Jim Beam® Double Oak is crafted in charred oak. Its rich flavor comes from being aged a second time in another separate barrel. Jim Beam® Double Oak is first aged in charred American white oak barrels, then we pour it into another freshly charred barrel to mature for a second time. This second barreling allows the liquid to develop an even deeper level of oakiness and rich caramel. Color: Golden amber. Aroma: Rich caramel, vanilla, hints of toasted wood. Taste: Caramel, toffee, and spiced oak. Finish: Long, warm, and balanced.
