Jim Beam Clermont Steep American single malt whiskey review: Beam's first-ever malt whiskey is a pleasant, toasty treat. whiskey bourbon cocktails
from the TTB, and thankfully that definition looks to be broad enough to recognize the most important truth of American single malt as a style: There’s little consensus between the producers on how to make one. If you look at the well-heeledyou’ll see a company with a process that is painstakingly based on classic, old-world techniques of maturation, similar to what one would see in Scotland–aging in used casks, an emphasis on blending, etc.
With that said, the whiskey itself is a pretty down-the-middle expression of the kind of American single malt whiskey that other distilleries have been producing in the U.S. for the last few decades, fighting for representation and trying to carve out a piece of the market. This one is made with a combination of base distiller’s malt–the same malt they would use in the classic bourbon recipe–as well as 20% Vienna malt, which should provide a nice malty-sweet component.
On the nose, Clermont Steep is rich in malty sweetness, suggestive of caramel on toast, with perhaps a little maple waiting in the wings. There’s no missing the aroma of the base malt itself–it smells like a malt house, albeit with vanilla production happening near by. The grainy, wholesome sense of breadiness is easy to find, and you can imagine the malt making its full journey from germination to loaf.
