Legent Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whisky is a unique collaboration between Jim Beam Master Distiller Fred Noe and House of Suntory Chief Blender Shinji Fukuyo. This bourbon is crafted from a historic family recipe and aged for a minimum of four years in charred virgin white oak barrels. It then undergoes a unique finishing process, where the liquid is split and finished in California red wine and sherry casks before being expertly blended by Shinji Fukuyo. The result is an exceptional bourbon with a complex taste profile and an ABV of 47%, presented in a 700ml bottle.
The nose of this whiskey offers a classic bourbon character with hints of caramel, toasted nuts, and cinnamon spice, which soon give way to the influence of the red wine cask and present tart red berries and dark cherries. The palate is initially smooth, with sweet notes of caramel, vanilla, and oak spice taking the lead, before revealing a jammier flavor profile that delivers raisins, mulled wine spices, and dried fruits. The oak spices linger on, making for a harmonious and complex whiskey. This "East meets West" collaboration brings together several unique bourbons aged in newly charred white oak barrels, and some extra aged in wine and sherry casks, resulting in a layered and complex taste profile. Expertly distilled by seventh-generation master distiller Fred Noe and refined by world-renowned chief blender Shinji Fukuyo, Legent is a marriage of East and West, offering a traditional melding of flavors with a unique twist.
