While we can sit and yearn for another warm weekend, there’s no denying that colder nights are approaching — and so are the seasonal spirits. On Wednesday, Jim Beam announced the release of its limited-edition Winter Reserve expression. After aging in toasted oak barrels for a full six years, the bourbon arrives just ahead of the 2024 holiday season.
The whiskey ups the aging ante compared to Jim Beam’s four-year-old Holiday Edition sour mash bourbon, which enjoyed a limited edition run in 2023. According to a press release, this year’s liquid serves up rich notes of vanilla and cinnamon with subtle undertones of clove on the palate ahead of a long, luxurious finish.
