Description
In 1740, the Boehm family came to America to live the colonial dream and 48 years later moved to Kentucky and changed their name to "Beam". By the end of the 18th century, German, Scottish and Irish settlers who had brought their recipes from home were already producing rye whiskey in Western Pennsylvania. However, when the US government offered incentives to relocate west, many families moved to Kentucky. One of these farmers was Jacob Beam, who used his father's whiskey recipe to distill corn into a new, sweeter type of whiskey, which led to the birth of bourbon.
Jim Beam Rye Pre-Prohibition Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey is one of Jim Beam's new varieties and a popular alternative to the classic bourbon varieties. It is based on the way American farmers distilled whiskey before Prohibition. Then, as now, 51% rye made up the majority of the mash in rye whiskeys, while corn was the main ingredient in bourbon whiskey. According to the manufacturer, Jim Beam Rye Whiskey is matured in barrels for at least 4 years.

Was diesen neuen Pre-Prohibition vom altbekannten JIM BEAM Rye mit dem gelben Etikett unterscheidet, kann ich nicht sagen. Dieser neue ist ebenso gefällig. Für wenig Geld bekommt man die bessere Alternative zum einschläfernden White Label. Dieser Rye hat süßliche klare Getreide-Noten mit Eichenholz, bleibt zwar relativ eindimensional im Aroma, bringt aber Charme mit. Ein ungekünstelter Whiskey, angenehm echt im Geschmack.
