Jim Beam Single Barrel Bourbon Whiskey
Jim Beam Single Barrel Bourbon Whiskey is a 750mL Kentucky straight bourbon bottled at 108 proof (54% ABV) from the Clermont Distillery in Clermont, Kentucky, drawn from a single hand-selected barrel — fewer than one percent of Jim Beam's barrels are chosen for this bottling, per the brand — and individually bottled, labeled, and hand-numbered. Because every bottle comes from one barrel, no two are exactly alike: barrel placement, season, and time in the rackhouse shape each one's profile. It is available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor.

One Barrel, Hand-Numbered, Under One Percent
Single Barrel is Jim Beam stepping away from the blend: instead of marrying many barrels toward a house average, the master distiller picks individual barrels — fewer than one in a hundred — and bottles each on its own, hand-numbered, so the drinker tastes that barrel's own balance of oak, vanilla, and caramel. It sits at the top of the core Jim Beam range made at Clermont, where the Beam family has distilled for generations. Explore the range on the Jim Beam vendor page, or browse our bourbon collection.
Tasting Notes
Per the brand: deep amber with golden highlights; a rich oaky vanilla aroma with light spice; balanced oak, vanilla, and caramel flavor; and a full-bodied, smooth finish with lingering oak and vanilla.
How to Enjoy
The brand's guidance is neat, over one large ice cube, or in a classic cocktail such as an Old Fashioned — a bottling built to taste the barrel, not bury it. More single barrels are in our bourbon collection.
