Jim Beam bourbon undergoes distillation at lower temperatures and is distilled to no more than 62.5%. The White label is aged for four years and has a high percentage of rye in the mashbill. The nose is quite sweet with gentle notes of vanilla and cut hay, a touch of fresh corn fields and a little cereal sweetness, like the bluegrass fields of Kentucky. The palate has good body with notes of toasty oak and all the requisite notes of vanilla and crème anglaise, a little spice and pepper with an acetone note.
