About this bottle

Jacob's Ghost is named for Jim Beam founder and first distiller, Jacob Beam, and the first style of whiskey he made, which was clear. 200 years later, Jim Beam has released a white whiskey using the same mash bill as their Original that is aged one year in new oak, then for color. It's intended for both neat sipping and cocktails. According to Master Distiller Fred Noe, "This is not another white dog put in a bottle."

Reminds me of corn liquor with a splash of rye. I’m of lover of Stillhouse whiskey but this lacks that lovely caramel corn flavor I get from Stillhouse. I guess I was expecting something more. But then this is mass market juice.

Light notes of barley. Sweet on the tongue. Not much to it, very short finish.

wxheydari 2.0

Very bland, however tastes better than the standard model of the brand.
