Legent Kentucky Straight Review
Part of the Beam Suntory portfolio, Legent is the product of a collaboration between Jim Beam Master Distiller Fred Noe and Suntory Chief Blender Shinji Fukuyo. The nose is subtle and slightly reserved, but some time in glass coaxes out aromas of toasted almonds and dried fruits. The palate is well-rounded, has a great concentration of flavor, and a rich finish.
