Whiskey can often seem intimidating to newcomers, but flavored varieties like Jim Beam Pineapple offer a more approachable entry point, making it easier for beginners to explore and enjoy. This new expression from Jim Beam is the brand's first flavored spirit in four years and it taps into the vibrant essence of the South.
Jim Beam Pineapple entices with notes of smooth oak and caramel, and it was made to be mixed, sipped, and shared with friends in warm summer weather. Some of the ways this approachable pineapple liqueur infused with Kentucky straight Bourbon could be appreciated is in a bright, spicy Pica y Piña cocktail made with lime juice, simple syrup, jalapeños, and a Tajín rim, or a Jim Beam Pineapple & Lemon Lime Soda.
