Whisky Focus - Jim Beam Kentucky Dram

Jim Beam Kentucky Dram, an innovative limited edition blend of Kentucky bourbon and peaty Scotch Highland whisky.

Jim Beam Kentucky Dram is a innovative new whisky which will be available exclusively in global travel-retail. The new whisky sees Scotland and the US come together in a blend of premium Jim Beam American Kentucky bourbon and peaty Highland Scotch Whisky, but which Highland whisky?

The Scotch has not been named but is believed to be from the Beam Suntory portfolio of Scotch whisky distilleries and considering Beam owns Ardmore distillery which produces a lightly peated Highland whisky then my guess would be it is a blend of Jim Beam and Ardmore.

Presented in a unique gift box with the neck of the bottle poking out the top the Jim Beam Kentucky Dram was bottled at 40% and has an RRP of £34.99 per bottle, it is a limited addition and it is sure to attract attention from both Scotch and American whisky drinkers.

This unique new whisky is escribed as having a smoky flavour from the Scotch which enriches the smooth vanilla and oaky notes of the bourbon.

Perhaps this is the start of a new era in whisky and we will see more innovative creations such as this

The Jim Beam Kentucky Dram limited edition will be available exclusively in travel retail from July.
