Legent Bourbon Yamazaki Edition

$369.99

This Limited Edition Bourbon from Jim Beam/Beam Suntory continues the collaboration between one of the great whiskey makers of Kentucky and one of the best whisky blenders of Japan. Fred Noe of Jim Beam once again makes the whiskey for in this marriage of styles with 8-year-old Kentucky Bourbon being the base of the creation, with Shinji Fukuyo then taking over and finishing the Bourbon. Why is the fabled Yamazaki name on the label? Because a portion of this Bourbon was finished in casks that previously held Yamazaki Single Malt Whisky.

Bottled at 57% ABV.

From The Producer

"Yamazaki, the birthplace of Japanese Whisky, was identified by Suntory as an ideal environment for maturation due to its distinct seasons and warm, humid climate. It is also where Suntory developed its signature concept of Tsukuriwake or “diversity of making,” which involves creating and harmonizing many different types of whiskies to create a subtle, refined and complex profile. This concept is applied while creating Suntory Japanese Whiskies as well as Legent Bourbon.

For this Legent release, Fukuyo matured the limited-edition bourbon in carefully chosen French Oak wine casks and Spanish Oak sherry casks to impart rich notes and a vivid spiced finish. The additional reserve is then selected for finishing in the exceptional and rare, former Yamazaki Spanish Oak Casks to introduce a full-bodied, malty depth and infuse nuanced layers of complexity. Finally, the three uniquely finished selections are blended with more eight-year-old Kentucky Straight Bourbon, resulting in an ultra-premium, harmonious balance of oaky warmth, smooth brightness, and a distinctly long finish with hints of spice."
