Legent Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey 750ml

Producer Description 

Legent straight bourbon is a bright, spicy straight bourbon with lots of oak plus hints of fruit from the sherry-cask finish. One thing’s for sure: This East-meets-West collaboration isn’t for the faint of heart.

Legent is a blend of three Jim Beam bourbons, two which are secondary cask finished. It’s a blend of sherry, red wine, and bourbon barrel finishes. The sherry casks tend to lend more spice, raisin, and dried fruit flavors, while the French oak red wine casks impart more mild, fruity flavors. The regular bourbon barrel finish imparts that traditional oak, caramel, and vanilla flavors and dark colors.

Expert Review

Wine Enthusiast 92 Points | A collaboration between Kentucky Bourbon-distiller Fred Noe and chief blender Shinji Fukoyo of Japan’s Suntory, this Bourbon is partially finished in wine and Sherry casks. The result is a caramel-rich nose and palate that reads almost like dulce de leche with a pleasantly silky texture. There’s a hint of dried fruit and spice on the exit.
