The Jim Beam Game 7 Batch, as it is being called, is four-year-old straight Kentucky bourbon which was pulled from barrel on the day the Cubs won the World Series after seven games. It’s got that typical Beam oak vanilla aroma and sweet finish, and is packaged with a commemorative blue cap, batch sticker and specialty label to celebrate Cubs heritage. Its release marks the first time a unique batch of this bourbon has been put to market.
