Jim Beam Black 7 Year Old

Jim Beam Black 7 Year Old is produced at the historic Jim Beam Distillery in Clermont, Kentucky, part of the Beam Suntory portfolio. With roots dating back to 1795, Jim Beam is one of the most recognizable names in bourbon, known for its consistent style and traditional production methods.

This expression builds on the brand’s classic bourbon recipe but is aged for a full seven years, allowing for greater interaction with the barrel and deeper flavour development. Crafted from Jim Beam’s traditional mash bill and matured in new charred American oak barrels, it is bottled at 45% ABV (90 proof)—slightly higher than the standard white label—giving it more body and richness while maintaining the signature smoothness of the brand.
