Jim Beam Peach 750ML

Jim Beam Peach 750ML is a peach liqueur infused with Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey, bottled at 32.5% ABV (65 proof) in a 750ml format. Rather than flavoring bourbon with peach, Beam reverses the process — peach liqueur serves as the base, with bourbon folded in to provide backbone and warmth.
Quick Facts: ABV: 32.5% (65 proof)  |  Origin: Clermont, Kentucky, USA  |  Style: Peach Liqueur with Bourbon  |  Distillery: Jim Beam
Production & Heritage
Jim Beam Distillery traces its roots to 1795 in Clermont, Kentucky, making it one of the longest-operating bourbon producers in the United States. Now under the ownership of Suntory Global Spirits, the distillery produces its flagship bourbon from a traditional mashbill of 75% corn, 13% rye, and 12% malted barley. Jim Beam Peach takes a notable approach within the flavored whiskey category: instead of infusing the bourbon itself with peach flavoring, the expression blends peach liqueur with Jim Beam Kentucky Straight Bourbon, allowing the fruit character to lead while the bourbon provides structure underneath.
Tasting Notes
Aroma: Fresh, ripe peach dominates the nose immediately, backed by gentle oak and warm vanilla undertones. The bourbon influence remains restrained, allowing the fruit to take the spotlight.
Taste: Sweet, juicy peach arrives on the entry and holds center stage through the mid-palate. Woody bourbon notes emerge gradually, joined by soft caramel and a whisper of grain sweetness. At 65 proof, the texture is light and mellow — noticeably gentler than full-strength bourbon.
Finish: Clean and smooth with lingering peach sweetness that fades without becoming cloying. A subtle bourbon warmth anchors the close, keeping the finish from drifting into pure confection territory.
How to Drink Jim Beam Peach
Served chilled or over ice, this expression works as a straightforward warm-weather sipper — the lower ABV and fruit-forward profile make it approachable without much fuss. Peach Mule: Swap standard bourbon for Beam Peach in a Kentucky Mule; the peach and ginger beer pairing is a natural fit. Peach Lemonade Highball: Combine with fresh lemonade and soda water for a refreshing, low-effort cocktail that highlights the fruit character. Bourbon Peach Smash: Muddle fresh mint and lemon with Beam Peach for a lighter take on a Whiskey Smash where the stone fruit does the heavy lifting.

Why Jim Beam Peach?
The reversed production method — peach liqueur infused with bourbon rather than bourbon infused with peach — gives this expression a distinctly fruit-first identity that separates it from competitors that simply add flavoring to their base whiskey. That approach, combined with Beam’s well-established bourbon built on a 75% corn, 13% rye, 12% malted barley mashbill, ensures the spirit carries genuine grain character beneath the fruit. The 32.5% ABV keeps it sessionable and versatile in mixed drinks without stripping away all sense of whiskey presence. For drinkers who want recognizable peach flavor with an honest bourbon underpinning at an accessible price, this remains one of the most straightforward options in the category.
