Jim Beam Repeal Batch
$32.99
Region:USA > Kentucky
A throwback to an earlier style of American whiskey. Jim Beam Repeal Batch serves to (very belatedly) commemorate the end of American Prohibition. Ummmm...okay. Better late than never, I guess. And let's face it...who hasn't lost a bit of time after a few glasses of bourbon?
But all joking aside, this Kentucky Straight Bourbon was released on the 85th anniversary of what has become known as Repeal Day.
The strength of JB Repeal has been ratcheted up from the standard 40% to 43%, but that's not the real kicker here. What we love more than the higher abv is the fact that they've left this one a little more naked and natural. It has been barrier-filtered, but not chill-filtered. In short...all the thick, natural oils have been left in the bottle. That means a richer delivery of flavour and a longer finish. Just as would have been the case in the years following the repeal of one of America's dumbest laws ever to hit the books.
