NOSE
First up is a watery caramel bolstered by that unforgettable Jim Beam spice and corn. Deeper in there lie notes of vanilla, citrus zest and red licorice with a very slight herbal quality to it.
TASTE
The flavor and the aroma are remarkably similar, which isn’t always the case with whiskey. The caramel and that unique Jim Beam spice define the flavor of this bourbon. It pulls everything else into place and lets some of the underlying corn, anise, vanilla and citrus zest shine through with some yeast hanging out in the background.
FEEL
It’s a very easy drinking bourbon with a relaxed and simple mouthfeel that holds little excitement, but also makes it very accessible.
FINISH
Long finish of watery caramel, corn, citrus and a faint bit of oak.
