Two years ago, James B. Beam Distilling Co. unveiled a smoky bourbon under its Basil Hayden banner. Called Subtle Smoke, it took the label’s standard high-rye recipe and finished it for 6 months in toasted and lightly charred oak barrels that had been infused with hickory smoke. That release was intended as a one-off, but now Beam is bringing it back for a limited time. While 2024’s Subtle Smoke is largely identical to the first one, the finishing length is notably shorter this time around, at just 6 weeks. Smoked bourbons like this one are fairly uncommon; unlike their single malt counterparts, which are often distilled from smoked grains, many smoky bourbons instead pull their flavors from finishing casks. While Basil Hayden landed on smoke-infused barrels, and Bib & Tucker tapped barrels with notably intense chars, others like Great Jones and Chattanooga instead opted for finishes in casks that once held Islay scotch.
