After filtration, Jim Beam Green Label is bottled at the standard 80 proof (40% abv). The appearance, both in the bottle and in the glass, is much the same as with standard Jim Beam: the middle amber look that is part of the stereotype of what bourbon whiskey is supposed to be.

The nose follows in that same benchmark vein: candy corn sweetness, caramel, and vanilla with the note of rye spice, but with subdued rye. The palate goes on the same way. It delivers flavors of expected caramel, vanilla, and corn sweetness, plus a tinge of citrus and barrel char, but with a decidedly mellow characteristic. The finish is quite smooth, understated, and slightly warm.
