PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Jim Beam Double Oak starts with the classic 4-year-old Jim Beam bourbon aged in freshly charred American white oak barrels. Then, it gets moved again into another new charred oak barrel—hence “double oak”—for a deeper infusion of wood and flavor.


👃 Nose

Expect rich aromas of caramel, vanilla, toffee, and toasted wood. Some reviewers also note milk chocolate and a dash of cardamom, with hints of green apple and honeyed nuttiness 


👄 Taste

  • Entry: Creamy caramel and smooth vanilla balanced by bold, spicy oak.

  • Midpalate: Layers of toffee, brown sugar, peanut-nougat-like richness, subtle citrus, and cola sweetness (some say it tastes like “an apple fritter” with dusty oak) 

  • Body: Medium, gently peppery but well-rounded despite the wood-forward character 


🔚 Finish

Moderately long with lingering spices, toasted oak, and hints of coffee or bitter cherry. Some find the oak edge slightly tannic on the tail end 


💬 Community Insight

Reddit users describe it well:

“The nose is surprisingly pleasant with delicious sweet notes of honey, toffee, and citrus, without any noticeable bitterness.” 

It’s often praised as a better-than-expected pick given its affordable price.


🎯 Final Take

Jim Beam Double Oak is a bold, approachable bourbon with a double dose of oak, offering rich caramel-toffee sweetness and a gentle spice bite—all while staying smooth and wallet-friendly. Perfect for bourbon fans seeking something richer than the standard Beam without breaking the bank.

"Bright notes of vanilla alongside dark notes of charred oak make up the nose. Much of this carries through to the palate, with vanilla bean, crème brûlée, stewed blueberries, and butterscotch creating a lovely ensemble. A long, spicy heat on the finish." 96 Points, Extraordinary, Ultimate Recommendation, 2017 Ultimate Spirits Challenge
