Jim Beam Double Oak Twice Barreled
Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey […]
In almost every shop we can meet the basic version of Jim Beam, lets call it classic. Jim Beam 6 years old - Triple Aged appeared less frequently and now we have a new one to the collection - Jim Beam Double Oak Twice barreled, 43% ABV. What in this case double oak or twice barreled mean? The point is that the distillate is poured into fresh charred barrels made of American white oak, and then after some time of maturation is again poured into fresh charred barrels made of American white oak. Just like the classic Jim Beam would be poured again into fresh barrels for some time of mataration.

Score: 80. Jim Beam Double Oak Twice Barreled is a nice bourbon for a relaxing sipping. Quite typical for a species single direction - ie. toward the sweet notes is here spiced with a hint of chili, which gives the drink the character.
