Apple-Flavored Bourbons

The Jim Beam Apple Bourbon Brings a Tarty Twist to a Classic Drink

Jim Beam Apple is the newest addition to the classic bourbon brand's product range. With fresh flavoring added to the dark spirit. the result is a pleasantly tart-tasting whiskey.

Apple often produces an overly sweet addition to liquors, however the Jim Beam Apple flavor boasts a delightfully crisp and slightly sour taste instead. This new addition to Jim Beam pairs perfectly with a soda cocktail. For the autumn season, this tarty spirit can be mixed with the brand's Kentucky Fire blend to create a cocktail that is inspired by a cinnamon apple pie.

The bottle of apple whiskey is a 70 proof spirit that is combined with apple liqueur. The beverage also features slight undertones of oak, which complement its bold and fruity flavor. This tasty beverage was released early this month and is currently available for purchase.
