Jim Beam Double Oak Whiskey is a replacement for the discontinued Jim Beam Black. Double Oak has been aged for 4 years in new charred-oak barrels before getting a secondary aging in newly charred American oak barrels.
Launched in 2016, this is a bit more matured version of the Jim Beam White Label, containing its classic sweetness but with addition of spices.
I received this as a gift by Master of Malt while making a big whisky order for our local Finnish whisky community. Nicely done MoM!
Double Oak is surprisingly nice. Could I even say it’s a bang for buck bourbon? Definitely a step up from the ordinary Jim Beam. This one has character but also that typical bourbony sweet smoothness.
Peach Smash recipe with Jim Beam Double Oak bourbon, taken from Master of Malt website:
“Add the ingredients above to a shaker with cubed ice and shake hard for 4 seconds. Strain over crushed ice in a rocks glass and garnish with a sprig of mint and a lemon wedge.”
Master of Malt was kind enough to send a free sample with their order
