Jim Beam Lineage Batch #2: The Ultimate Bourbon Review

Welcome to our 200th Video!! 🎉

Step into the legacy! 🥃 Our latest whiskey review dives deep into the highly anticipated Jim Beam Lineage Batch #2, a truly special release from the iconic Kentucky distillery. This limited-edition, 15-year-old Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey is more than just a drink; it’s a piece of history crafted by seventh and eighth-generation Master Distillers, Fred and Freddie Noe.

Join us as we explore this exclusive father-son collaboration and a milestone for the Jim Beam brand. We’ll taste the rich flavors of this hand-selected bourbon, aged in charred white oak barrels and bottled at a robust 111 proof. What does 15 years of aging do for that signature Jim Beam mouthfeel? We’re about to find out!

Lineage Batch #2 is a collector’s dream, a rare bourbon that marks Freddie Noe’s coming-of-age in the whiskey world with his name on the label for the first time. Available only at The James B. Beam Distilling Co. campus, this is a rare opportunity for bourbon enthusiasts to own a piece of the Beam family legacy.
