Legent Bourbon by Jim Beam Suntory
55.00$
Legent™ is a Kentucky straight bourbon whiskey partially finished in wine and sherry casks. But it’s more than that. It pushes the boundaries for how bourbons can be created while remaining true to the core of bourbon’s principles. It’s a collaboration between two whiskey legends – Fred Noe & Shinji Fukuyo – and two unique styles of whiskey making.
Legent has brought together over 220 years of bourbon-making heritage and nearly 100 years of Japanese whisky artistry. It’s a unique collaboration between two of the world’s most revered whiskey makers. And just like a traditional bourbon, Legent starts with premium grains, like corn, rye and malted barley, and is aged in select white oak barrels.
From Japan to Scotland to Kentucky, Chief Blender Shinji Fukuyo has traveled the world over learning, studying and perfecting the art of blending whiskey and distilling spirits. For him, Legent presented numerous unique challenges. Bourbon isn’t a spirit that’s blended routinely.He also wanted to honor Fred’s family heritage and produce a unique bourbon of the highest quality. After years of tasting, testing and refining the recipe with Fred, Legent has become another step in Shinji’s pursuit of mastery.

Legent Bourbon By Jim
Legent Bourbon, produced by Beam Suntory, is a Kentucky straight bourbon whiskey born from a collaboration between Jim Beam Master Distiller Fred Noe and Suntory Chief Blender Shinji Fukuyo. Launched in 2019, it’s made using a classic Beam family recipe with premium grains and Kentucky limestone water, aged in new charred oak then finished in red wine and sherry casks before meticulous blending. Bottled at 94 proof, it offers a balanced, innovative profile bridging American bourbon boldness with Japanese blending precision. Legent Bourbon by Jim Beam Suntory.

Product Description
Legent starts as extra-aged bourbon finished in hand-selected wine and sherry casks to draw out spice, fruit, and depth, then blended for smoothness. Its golden hue with reddish-brown tones sets a rich visual tone, while the higher proof delivers viscosity and legs superior to many premium bourbons. Ideal neat, on rocks, or in cocktails, it emphasizes approachable complexity without aggressive heat. Legent Bourbon by Jim Beam Suntory.
Tasting Notes
Aromas blend mature oak, spice, vanilla butterscotch, red fruits like cherry and plum, brown sugar, almonds, and floral minty notes. The palate brings soft oak, dried fruits (raisin, date), dark red fruit, leather, light acidity, cornbread, and peppery spice with wine-like grape and berry influences. Finish is long, warm, and layered with dry oak, barrel char, black/white pepper, and pleasant viscosity.
