chrissc Posted November 28, 2004 Share Posted November 28, 2004 I have a friend who swears that Jim Beam makes a Blue lable that sells for around $200 a bottle. I have searched everywhere and can not find anything at all relating to Jim Beam Blue. Anyone out there ever heard of it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TNbourbon Posted November 28, 2004 Share Posted November 28, 2004 I wonder if somebody badly overpaid for one of the University of Kentucky commemorative bottles. They feature UK blue on the label.Or else, he's confusing Jim Beam with Johnny Walker [not much of a whisk(e)y aficianado, then!], which DOES have a blue label version that sells for about $200 a bottle.

wrbriggs Posted November 28, 2004 Share Posted November 28, 2004 My guess is that he is confusing Jim Beam with Johnny Walker. Johnny Walker has a blue label blended scotch that sells for $150 - $200 per bottle.Jim Beam made a "Distiller's Masterpiece" bourbon which also was in that price range.It is doubtful that either of these two items are worth the price tag, although I have not tried them.

OneCubeOnly Posted November 28, 2004 Share Posted November 28, 2004 No question about it...your friend is confusing the Jim Beam Kentucky Wildcats blue bottle with Johnnie Walker Blue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barrel_Proof Posted November 29, 2004 Share Posted November 29, 2004 FYI: JW Blue can be had for $90 on St. Maarten. I left it on the shelf! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I left it on the shelf!Seeing as how I could get Pappy 20yr for less than that, or two bottles of RHF or Blanton's, I can understand why you left it!

At Narita duty free, JW Blue will set you back $135, but a cute little 200 ml will be thrown in for good measure! (That's four extra pours -- in South Carolina!)
