Bourbon, with a Bite of Green Apple
Jim Beam Apple launched in August 2015 as the Beam family's latest flavored whiskey — the distillers in Clermont, distilling since 1795, took their Kentucky straight bourbon and blended it with apple liqueur, landing on a golden pour that is juicy and crisp rather than candy-sweet, with the bourbon's vanilla and oak still underneath the fruit. Jim Beam classifies it plainly as a flavored whiskey, and that is how it drinks: apple first, bourbon backbone second. Find the rest of the family on the Jim Beam vendor page and more flavored pours in our whisky collection.
Tasting Notes
Per the producer: a fresh, crisp green-apple aroma; juicy fresh green apple on the palate with a tart-and-sweet balance, subtle oak, and bourbon vanilla; a sweet, refreshing finish with lingering apple and a touch of oak.
How to Enjoy
Follow Jim Beam's signature serve — the Apple and Soda: over ice, topped with soda or club soda and a lemon wedge. It also sweetens a whiskey sour or an apple-spiked iced tea. More warm-weather pours are in our spirits collection.
