Whisky

J&B’s history dates back to 1749 when Giacomo Justerini, an Italian from Bologna, came to London to woo the Italian opera singer, Margherita Bellino. Spurned, he remained in London and set himself up as a wine merchant in Pall Mall with his English partner, George Johnson. Together they ran a very fashionable and successful business catering to London’s high living aristocracy.

American as apple pie and a testament to quality, tradition and passion, Jim Beam® is the best-selling brand of Kentucky straight bourbon in the world. Seven generations of craftsmanship go into every bottle, along with corn, rye, barley malt, water, time and pride.

The Clynelish whisky used in this blend gives an immediately succulent flavor. Soft, floral, and silky vanilla tones, along with a creamy peach flavor, leave a light sweetness in the mouth.

The character of this whisky is defined by intense, spicy, zingy, edgy flavors. Red Label bursts onto the palate with the freshness of the spray from a crashing wave, followed by the zing of aromatic spices and finally a long, lingering, smoky finish. The sensation in the mouth is complex – “sweet chilli” is a good description of this taste and the tingling sensation on the tongue.

The nose is rich and smoky. The medicinal notes are quite evident with notes of the sea; seaweed, tarry ropes. There are notes of cut hay and wood smoke rising with a gentle estery sweetness. The palate is thick and full. Notes of citrus with smooth sweetness. The smoke wafts with notes of seaweed. The oak is quite rich with grist and cereal and malt. The finish is of good length with fruit and dry oak.

Distilled in Scotland from grain. Smooth, high quality Scotch Whiskey.
