An unprecedented collaboration between two whiskey giants —Fred Noe, 7th Generation Master Distiller at Jim Beam and Shinji Fukuyo Suntory’s fifth-ever Chief Blender. Legent Bourbon offers the best of both Eastern and Western Tradition.
Realizing they both had so much to learn from one another, the two masters started Legent as a fun side project. Using the heritage of Kentucky bourbon-making and Japanese blending techniques, Legent brings the best of two whiskey worlds together.
But like all true masters of their trade, the two spent countless hours perfecting the recipe. The result? An entirely new way to type of bourbon, that deserves a class of its own.
Crafted with high-quality grains and calcium-rich, iron-free, limestone water and is aged for at least four years in newly charred white oak barrels. The bourbon is then aged separately in sherry and red wine casks, each imparting distinct flavors. Once the bourbon is aged they are then blended to perfection to yield a balanced palate of spice, fruit and tart flavors.
Notes: Smooth, medium-bodied. Aromas and flavors of oak, dried fruits of raisin and date, and spice.
Pairings: Pork loin, rack of lamb, cherries jubilee
Serving Suggestions: Neat or with a single ice cube
Region: Kentucky
Alcohol Content: 47%
