Clermont Steep Malted Barley American Single Malt Whiskey

Clermont Steep is an American Single Malt Whiskey that highlights the depth and dimension of a single grain: malted barley. Mashed from 100% American Malted Barley, Clermont Steep is a 5-year-old liquid distilled and aged in Clermont, Kentucky – in bespoke barrels that were toasted, then quickly charred to a char level 1. The result? A flavorful whiskey with a golden honey color, a warm toffee sweetness, and the unique, bready flavor of American barley.

Crafted by none other than Freddie Noe, 8th Generation Master Distiller, Fred B. Noe Distillery, this is the first American Single Malt Whiskey from James B. Beam Distilling Co. Clermont Steep is best enjoyed neat or on the rocks.

As a formally undefined category, Freddie Noe purposefully developed his own guidelines and defining factors for American Single Malt Whiskey while operating under the ultimate creative constraint – using a single grain. Clermont Steep is a product of singular focus and results in a singularly focused whiskey experience.

Steeped in centuries of craft and expertise, Clermont Steep is Jim Beam's simplest, purest, most focused whiskey. Its name is exactly what it indicates. Clermont, Kentucky, Jim Beam's heart and home, and Steep, bringing to life the deliberates process of handpicking and then steeping their malted barley before it hits the barrel. Clermont Steep is a deceptively complex liquid made from the sparest of ingredients.

Relentless focus on malted barley reveals its hidden notes of toffee, vanilla, caramel, whole grain, and so much more. When there’s only one grain in the mash bill, you taste everything it contains.
