The first rollout in Jim Beam’s premium Signature Craft series, this Bourbon is finished with Spanish brandy and aged in Bourbon barrels.

Jim Beam Signature Spanish Brandy isnt a finished bourbon, its actually a Jim Beam Bourbon thats had Rare Spanish Brandy added to it. This addition of Spanish Brandy means it no longer qualifies as a bourbon and is instead labeled as a Bourbon Whiskey Finished With: Rare Spanish Brandy and the term Straight is never used. For comparison their Quarter Cask is labeled as Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey Quarter Cask Finished.

Tasting Notes

Nose:Brandy spice, fruity dark chocolate, orange creamsicle, sour grapes and a bit of candy sweetness and oak. It comes across more like a brandy than a bourbon.

Palate:Dark fruity brandy dominates the palate followed by notes of baking spice, caramel and some bits of oak, vanilla and cocoa.

Finish:Layers of dark sweet fruit, brandy and spice slowly fade out with just a hint of oak and dried corn.
