Distillery Tasting Notes

Made by Beam Suntory, Inc. ~ James B. Beam Distilling Co. (Jim Beam)

Partially finished in wine and sherry casks. Sherry casks add complex layers of spice, raisin, and heavy dried fruit flavor. These casks also help give Legent its deeper, reddish color. French oak wine casks impart different oak notes than traditional white oak bourbon barrels. These red-wine casks also give Legent mild, fruity undertones and a light acidity. As you drink Legent neat or on the rocks you'll notice it change quickly as it sits on your tongue. It starts like a bourbon – rich, warm and oaky. Then, like a Japanese whisky, it features both complex layers of dried fruits and spice. Adding an ice cube or two accentuates Legent's already bright, smooth and unexpectedly long finish.
