Bourbon maker Jim Beam has introduced a new six-grain blend. Available only through travel retail, Jim Beam Signature comes from mingling spirits distilled from corn, rye, barley, wheat, triticale and brown rice.

Jim Beam is placing their new bourbon, Jim Beam Signature at travel retail shops.
The press release says…

“This product is a result of us mingling different Bourbons together. Each were made from a standard Bourbon recipe (high percentage of single grains). For instance, we distilled a high wheat, small grain Bourbon; a high triticale, small grain Bourbon; and a high brown rice, small grain Bourbon. Each were barreled separately and then mingled together prior to bottling.

Jim Beam Signature is six-year old Bourbon, and has been bottled at 89-proof.

The taste profile:

Nuttier tasting than most Bourbons. And there is a cereal taste that pokes through. Drier in the mouth than you get with most Bourbons. Faint notes of root-beer. It is a sophisticated taste not just something novel.

COLOR: Rich Amber
AROMA: Oaky and spicy with sweet vanilla undertones
TASTE: Lively spiciness, mature cooperage notes
FINISH: Clean and dry

“Since its launch, each distiller has boldly marked those bottles that meet their high standards with personal signatures. We continue to celebrate this proud tradition, which features the signature of Fred Noe, Jim Beam’s great grandson and our current family distiller, on this latest and extraordinary Jim Beam bourbon.”
