Jim Beam Black
 

What a joke!

I was like, "Hmmm, I love Beam, perhaps tonight I will try out Jim Beam Black" for an extra $5.

Well, it's a rip off.

It's four years older, but all it did was spend four years trying to taste exactly like it's little brother.

Grr.

:)

I must take some of that back, it does seem to be a bit smoother, sooo...

I guess I will let you know tomorrow. :)

well they are boy the same whiskey.. so taste wise they would be same... black labels catch is that it is smoother (well, that at least is the selling point of most black labels)

Are you kidding me? The tastes are very different. White label has barely matured; black label is better stock and fully matured. The difference is night and day to me. I can't stand the white label, but I find the black label pretty decent.

Which gives more of a hangover - I assume they're the same proof.

Well, I actually prefer the white label if I had to pick. Yes, I did get a little hangover with it, compared to the while label. The tastes are not very different though, unless you have some amazing tongue.

black is 43% and white is 40% so is stronger, i take black where i can but its more expensive and not many places sell it here
