Label

My local liquor store recently started carrying the Jim beam White label with a red 7 on the center top of the label. Its says aged 7 years on the bottle also and is really smooth. I have not seen this sold anywhere else, even in the big liquor stores around Charlotte, ( I live in South Carolina ). The man who runs the store is really proud of his discovery, and actually talked me into buying a bottle the first time. Now I am sold on it. According to him it is becomming one of his biggest sellers. And the cost is not much different from the normal white label. I would recommend any fans of Jim Beam to definately give this one a try!! (If you can find it) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.47.205.126 (talk) 14:48, 19 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Someone changed age of JB white label to 4 years. It is correct at 3 years. The back of the bottle (in the USA at least) reads "this whiskey is 36 months old." -skimaxpower

In Canada it says "This Whiskey is Four Years Old" on the back label of a bottle of Jim Beam. I believe it says this on the UK export as well. Not sure how long it is aged for other exports.

I put it back at 4, which is correct for current US bottles. 71.13.132.63 07:30, 19 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Australian bottles say 4 years, too. fuddlemark (fuddle me!) 10:04, 24 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

It was a german guy named Jacob Böhm.

Das ist kein Jim Beam.

The bottle (a fifth) that I am currently drinking was purchased in Windsor, Ontario, Canada (but I live in Detroit, Michigan, USA—it was cheaper there) and that bottle say aged 4 years. Might I added, in the words of Tony the tiger (somewhat), "It's GREEEEAT!" and goes well with Coca-Cola. It's like having pure American Spirit in a bottle. —MJCdetroit 02:55, 4 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Jim and coke thats what im talkin about and yeah its american, GOD BLESS THE USA!--E tac 06:27, 3 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

At its best straight out of the bottle, no mixer, no chaser. It may take a while but you'll learn to love the burn, trust me! [Muddbucket]

I tried that earlier, it burns. It surprised the hell out of me. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.218.29.125 (talk) 05:30, 30 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Shouldn't "Jim Beam Green Label" and "Jim Beam Choice" be merged? Aren't they the same thing? ~ Aaron

Booker Noe

Does anyone know why The bourbon is still sold with the "Six generations of distillers" on the side, with Booker Noe as the last one saying 1929-present? He has been dead for like more then 2 years!

Probably cause the stuff they are selling was made when he was still alive? —Preceding unsigned comment added by E tac (talk • contribs) 06:21, 2 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yes it is because the bourbon was made while he was still alive. Infact I had my first bottle with Fred Noe on it only last week so they are out now (In NZ the handle bottles still have the 6 though)--Dog777 (talk) 01:21, 11 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Pop Culture Link

The "Titus" link under the Pop culture section goes to Titus, a Roman, when it should go to Titus, the TV show. I do not know how to fix that, so could someone help me out?

Jim Beam Small Batch

The page currently mentions 4 different types of small batch, but there is a fifth type simply called "Jim Beam Small Batch" (https://www.nicks.com.au/index.aspx?method=STA_productdetail&ProductId=11123). It's 80 proof/40%, the label mentions nothing about how long it's aged. Interestingly it has port added. I bought some last week so I know it is still available. Doing a web search I came across a different "Jim Beam Small Batch" which is 100 proof/50% (http://www.aussiewines.com.au/Liquor_buyOnline.php?Liq=Jim%20Beam%20Small%20Batch%20Bourbon%20700ml). Web searches and this article (http://www.bandt.com.au/news/b6/0c01fab6.asp) suggest Jim Beam Small Batch is only sold in the Australian market. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.220.80.168 (talk) 12:48, 22 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It's also available in NZ --Dog777 (talk) 01:22, 11 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Not adviceapedia...

"The liquid inside factory-sealed bottles of Jim Beam products, including specialty decanters that were produced, will generally taste the same as the day it was bottled for 10-15 years if kept outside of direct sunlight and at room temperature. After that time, the seal may allow impurities in that could alter its taste. If you choose to consume alcohol and you’re wondering whether the liquid is safe to drink, pour it into a clear glass and look at the color, smell the aroma and give it a small taste. If the contents pass those tests then you’re free to drink your bottle of whiskey in moderation."

That was under the products section. While informative and interesting, I believe it does not belong on the page. This is not adviceapedia. Thereby, I removed it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.9.193.93 (talk) 04:38, 11 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Bullshit on you, is what I am calling. This was phat advice for the people. I am sorry about you.
