About this product
A Bold Return to Pre-Prohibition Whiskey.
Jim Beam Rye is a spicy, full-flavoured whiskey that takes you back to America’s pre-Prohibition roots. Long before bourbon became the dominant style, rye whiskey was the true American classic. Jim Beam has revived this heritage spirit with a modern expression that honours tradition while delivering a lively, versatile whiskey perfect for today’s drinkers.
This isn’t just another whiskey—it’s a bold alternative to bourbon. Distilled with a high rye mash bill and aged in charred oak barrels, Jim Beam Rye brings peppery spice, warm vanilla, and oak sweetness together in a smooth, approachable balance. For Irish whiskey fans, it offers a distinctive flavour profile that stands out in cocktails while still being satisfying to sip neat.
Why we love it:
We love Jim Beam Rye for its lively, spicy kick. The rye grain gives it a peppery punch, balanced beautifully by vanilla and caramel from the oak. It’s a whiskey that shines in classic cocktails like the Manhattan or Sazerac, adding complexity where bourbon would add sweetness. For those in Ireland seeking something a little bolder, Jim Beam Rye is an excellent gateway into the world of American rye whiskey.

Serving suggestion
