The Black edition from Jim Beam is a marriage of whiskeys aged for 8 years(some say 6 years or even less and Jim Beam has yet to give an official answer) before bottling at 43% in new charred, American oak. 43% is slightly higher than the standard bourbon proof, proffering greater complexity.
NOSE:
Vanilla and Caramel.
PALATE:
Oak, caramel and fruit.
FINISH:
Oak, caramel and vanilla that lingers on.
