Overview

More Info

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® starts with a historic bourbon recipe from Fred Noe's family. Every drop is crafted with high-quality grains and calcium-rich, iron-free, limestone water and is aged in newly charred white oak barrels.

Tasting notes

Nose Plenty of classic bourbon character is at the forefront of the nose but the cask influence adds balance and depth. Brown sugar, toasted almonds, jammy fruits, butterscotch, vanilla and orange peel combine initially, with delicate warmth and spice provided from ginger root underneath.

Palate An initially deliciously silky delivery leads with rich caramel, floral notes and a suggestion of marmalade before chewy rye spice initially makes things more complex among savoury notes of roasted peanuts and a slightly bitter quality from charred wood, coffee beans and unsweetened dark chocolate. Dark cherry jam and stewed plums then burst through adding vibrant fruitiness alongside the sweetness of vanilla, cake batter, muscovado sugar and a hint of cola.

Finish Chocolate-covered cherries, black fruits, sugary cereals (Sugar Puffs, mostly) and a hint of liquorice fade ever so gradually; while the nutmeg and oak spices play about for longer.

Bourbon Culture, Spirit Animal, and Drinkhacker praise Legent as a Beam Suntory collaboration between Fred Noe and Shinji Fukuyo, with wine and sherry cask finishing. Fruit-forward, complex, with a Japanese-whisky-like long finish. Acclaimed as one of the best-value finished bourbons.

Worth Every Penny

"Definitely worth the cost. It is truly a unique whiskey, just like the label claims. A typical Kentucky bourbon and a Japanese scotch are the ideal blend. Even if you don't like it, you should give it a try, especially considering the cost. It can be one of your preferences as well. . . It belongs to me!"

Jhohan 9. (5/5)

Without a doubt, I'll purchase it once more. It is really supple.

"Recently, I was looking for something new that I had never tried. I was drawn in by the bottle when I read it. Arrived at home, opened it, and poured a clean glass. And that was lovely. It smelled and tasted incredible. I just finished the bottle, and I will definitely buy it again. Extremely smooth. I'd heartily advise trying this Japanese bourbon."

Jasper56 (5/5)

Oh my goodness, this stuff is wonderful! THE KEEPER

"I purchased this because of the several positive reviews on this page and the fact that it is a Beam family of bourbons cooperation. This bourbon is excellent. Very delicate and smooth at first, with a light peppery finish. This has a richness and smoothness from being aged in wine and sherry barrels, making it one of my favorites. This will most certainly be kept in my bar. Smooth, mellow, easy-going, with a gentle warmth near the conclusion. Good stuff, really!"

Aldren17 (5/5)

Well, that was interesting.

"The initial release of Suntory-Beam. Kentucky whiskey and Japanese mixing were combined by two whiskey legends. The wine barrel finish comes through and it starts off pretty sweet. Even though it can be too sweet, the bottle is fascinating and makes for an excellent topic of conversation."

Adelantar R. (5/5)

Something Distinct

"It is based on dependable Beam Bourbon, but the addition of ingredients aged in wine and sherry casks gives it a richness and depth of flavor that are unheard of for the price. This whiskey isn't going to be your go-to beverage for casual drinking on a daily basis; instead, you should drink it when you want to experiment with something new and unusual on your taste. Very nice and smooth. It can be easily opened up with some water or ice."

Noelle (5/5)

It was a Christmas present from my wife.

"My wife gave it to me as a Christmas present. I'm always up for the challenge of sampling new whiskies, whether they be Irish, Scotch, or Bourbon. The past two evenings, I have delighted in this. I made sure it was tidy before adding one cube. I like both variations."

Claudine-Pearl (4/5)

This is a true treasure.

"This is a true treasure. Amazing and distinctive flavor that came about naturally from the mixing of the strengths of Americans and Japanese. Try it if you can find it. You'll be pleased that you did."

Jeremaiah (5/5)

Legent - more difficult to locate elsewhere

"A portion of the maturing procedure for this interesting bourbon was completed in sherry casks, which gives the flavor some mellow, well-balanced notes. good on the rocks or straight."

99Stuart (5/5)

Unexpectedly Delightful

"Shinji Fukuyo is an expert in his field. Clean and really smooth, this bourbon. I don't mind paying $68 for something that should cost more. Maintain the $68 price for this bourbon!"

P2Marshall (5/5)

It becomes better and more likable.

"I now always reach for Legend bourbon. I really anticipate my weekly glass of wine every Saturday because it is smooth with just the proper amount of bite."
