Product Description
Legent is more than just another bourbon. It’s a San Francisco World Spirits Competition, Gold Medal winner that pushes boundaries and redefines how bourbons are created while remaining true to the core of the bourbon’s principles. It’s a collaboration as distinct as the two whiskey legends who made it. Fred Noe from the founding family of bourbon and Jim Beam’s seventh-generation Master Distiller and Shinji Fukuyo from the founding house of Japanese whisky and Suntory’s fifth-ever Chief Blender. Together they created a blend of several unique bourbons aged in newly charred white oak barrels and some extra-aged in wine and sherry casks. The result is a rounded and balanced bourbon that is layered, complex and unlike anything you’ve ever tried.

SonuFeb 8 2021 Bought if from Singapore Airport , it was so amazing that kept other single malt away and got this one.
Michael Dec 28 2020 It was gifted to me from my wife for Christmas. I never shy away from a challenge of trying new whisky’s from Bourbon to Irish and Scotch. I’ve been enjoying this the last two nights. I first had it neat and then added one cube. I enjoy it both ways.
Christopher M. Verified BuyerNov 8 2020Verified BuyerIt’s whiskey. It has a fruit hint. Need I say more? Buy. Drink. Repeat.
Andrew Verified BuyerJun 30 2020Verified BuyerSuper tasty and affordable
Robby Jun 15 2020 Well worth the price. As the bottle says it is truly a unique whiskey. Perfect blend of a traditional Kentucky bourbon and a Japanese scotch. Even if it’s not your thing, it is a must try especially for the price. There is a chance that it’s one of your favorites too... it’s one of mine!

FAQs
Bourbon is a corn-based, aged spirit that, while legally can be produced anywhere in the U.S., is Kentucky’s signature liquor; in fact, Kentucky distilleries make 95% of the world’s bourbon and the Bluegrass State hosts over a million visitors annually for bourbon tasting tourism.
Because of the liquor’s aging process variation, bourbon’s colors range from light amber to dark caramel and each bottle must contain at least 40% ABV. Bourbon can only be called bourbon if it’s aged in an oak barrel; barrels must be new and are pre-charred to help the liquid extract as much flavor as possible from the wood.

Much like how a square is a rectangle, but a rectangle is not a square, bourbon is a whiskey — but because of the stricter standards set for bourbon distillers, most whiskies are not considered bourbons.
While both whiskey and bourbon are made from the same base ingredients (a predominantly corn mash, yeast and water), a spirit can only be called bourbon if it’s crafted in the United States, surpasses a minimum 40% ABV and is aged in new, charred, white oak barrels. Bourbons are generally on the younger side of the whiskey family (compared to older whiskies like scotch) and thus deliver a sweeter profile.

Bourbon’s ingredient list is short and sweet (literally): corn, other grains, water and yeast. Barley, wheat and rye grains are often featured in the mash composition alongside the liquor’s signature corn base, but even so, the FDA considers straight bourbon as a gluten-free product that is safe for those with Celiac Disease or for individuals who suffer from other forms of gluten intolerance.
Raise a glass to science: While rye, barley and wheat all contain the gluten protein, the actual gluten is removed during the bourbon’s distillation process, in which the gluten molecules are separated from the actual distillate used to make the final product.
