Jim Beam Black Label is the bomb! And dirt cheap, too. For the price, I'm not sure I've had a better whiskey. In fact, more expensive stuff isn't as good. Also tried their Double Oak, and have a couple of the Devil's Cut, but not tried it, yet.
The Double Oak and Black Label couldn't be more different. I prefer the Black Label—smooth as ice, full of delicious, very easy to drink. The Double Oak is a lot more harsh, but also more flavorful.
The Black Label is the best example yet of what can happen if you give your master distiller a little project to work on.
