Distilled in memory of Abraham Lincoln's boyhood home in Kentucky, the Jim Beam Small Batch is truly bourbon at its finest. Created to represent whiskey before it was mass produced, Jim Beam Small Batch embodies the look, feel and taste of pre-prohibition bourbon. This full-bodied, flavorful bourbon takes classic cocktails to a new level. The Jim Beam Small Batch Bourbon, bottled at an honest 100 proof like all good bourbons were a century ago, is aged nine years in wood, giving it the distinction of being aged the longest of the Small Batch Bourbons. This extra aging allows it to absorb more of the sugar in the wood, giving it a slightly sweeter taste and nose.??
