Legent is a Kentucky straight bourbon whiskey partially finished in wine and sherry casks. But it’s more than that. It pushes the boundaries for how bourbons can be created while remaining true to the core of bourbon’s principles. It’s a collaboration between two whiskey legends – Fred Noe & Shinji Fukuyo – and two unique styles of whiskey making.

Legent has brought together over 220 years of bourbon-making heritage and nearly 100 years of Japanese whisky artistry. It’s a unique collaboration between two of the world’s most revered whiskey makers. And just like a traditional bourbon, Legent starts with premium grains, like corn, rye and malted barley, and is aged in select white oak barrels.

From Japan to Scotland to Kentucky, Chief Blender Shinji Fukuyo has traveled the world over learning, studying and perfecting the art of blending whiskey and distilling spirits. For him, Legent presented numerous unique challenges. Bourbon isn’t a spirit that’s blended routinely. He also wanted to honor Fred’s family heritage and produce a unique bourbon of the highest quality. After years of tasting, testing and refining the recipe with Fred, Legent has become another step in Shinji’s pursuit of mastery.

Legent Bourbon Whiskey by Jim Beam Suntory - Limited Release Tasting Notes

Layers of spice and fruity undertones are imparted from the sherry casks, while the red-wine casks lend Legent a light tartness and help punch up the dried fruit flavors.

Its a perfectly balanced and rounded bourbon that's also complex and layered.  On the palate it starts like a bourbon - Rich Warm and oaky.  Then like a Japanese whisky it features complex layers and a bright smooth unexpectedly long finish.

Distillery Information

Since his birth, Master Distiller Fred Noe's life has revolved around the distillery in one way or another. Always looking for new challenges, Legent was a chance to do something that nobody's ever done before. Create a unique bourbon by taking everything from his family's 220 years of making bourbon and combining it with the craft of Japanese blending.
