Jimmy Red Benton's Smoked Bourbon Whiskey

A smoky celebration of Southern craft and heritage—Jimmy Red® “Benton’s Smoked” Bourbon Whiskey is a collaborative marvel. This limited-release bourbon starts with 100% heirloom Jimmy Red corn, then undergoes a singular smoke infusion: the corn hangs in Allan Benton’s renowned smokehouse before distillation. The result? A spirit soaked in character—creamy, mellow, and smoky without pretension. It’s a bold but balanced expression, blending earthy tradition with shimmering innovation. Sip it neat and let the smoke tell the story.

Nose: A smokehouse aroma leads, layered with notes of graham, cinnamon, and maple cream.

Palate: Spicy and nuanced, with tropical fruit, light vanilla, and a creamy mouthfeel unfolding on the tongue.

Finish: A cheeky twist—light smoke fades into rich vanilla custard, charred pineapple, and cracked black pepper.

Pair with smoked pecans or bacon-wrapped dates to echo the smoke and cream. A slice of spiced pear tart or dark chocolate with sea salt brings warmth and balance. For savory contrast, try aged Manchego or sharp cheddar—complementary, refined, and deliciously surprising.
