Jim Beam Single Barrel 108 Proof 54% Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey
Jim Beam Single Barrel 108 Proof is the stronger overseas version of the Jim Beam single cask bourbon, bottled at 54% alc/vol in a 750ml bottle rather than the 700ml size. That is a notable jump in strength over the 95 proof single barrel, and it shows: the flavour arrives dense and concentrated, with caramel, dark oak, cinnamon and a lick of cherry that opens up as you add water. Each bottle is filled from one barrel, so there are small differences between batches. Buy it if you already enjoy the 95 proof version and want the bolder edition, if you like to dial your own water into a dram, or if you want a bottling that is not normally sold in Australia. It is in stock at the live price on this page, crypto payment brings a checkout discount, and it ships in a moulded insert with tracked delivery to all states and territories, signed for by an adult.

Jim Beam 108 Proof Flavour and Strength Before You Buy
At full pour the Jim Beam 108 Proof is intense: burnt sugar, charred oak and cinnamon heat lead the way. Add water and it softens into vanilla, cherry and toasted nuts, with the oak settling into a firm, dry frame. The finish is long and warming. Because the strength is high, go slowly and treat the first sip as a preview.

Why Jim Beam Single Barrel 750ml Is a Smart Buy for Strength Seekers
Higher strength gives you control. With the Jim Beam Single Barrel 750ml you decide how much water goes in, so one bottle can taste bold and spicy one night and soft and fruity the next. It is also a larger bottle than the 700ml version, and a talking point for anyone who collects overseas editions.
Jim Beam Single Barrel Editions Compared in Our Collection
The closest relative is the Jim Beam Single Barrel 95 Proof, the 700ml version at a gentler strength. For a stated age rather than high strength, the Jim Beam Black Extra Aged gives seven years in oak. For something truly rare, look at the James B. Beam 20 Year Old.
Adding Water to Jim Beam 108 Proof After You Order
Pour Jim Beam 108 Proof into a small tulip glass and keep a dropper of room temperature water nearby. Taste neat, add three or four drops, taste again, and keep going until the heat and flavour balance for you. Over ice it holds up well because the dilution works in its favour. In a cocktail, a small measure makes a powerful old fashioned or a punchy whiskey sour.

What to Order With Jim Beam 108 Proof
A glass water dropper and a pair of nosing glasses make the most of this bottle. If you want a comparison night, order the 95 proof single barrel alongside it. Rich foods like smoked brisket and dark chocolate stand up to the strength.
