Jim Beam Pre-Prohibition Style Rye
90 proof
NAS
Rye
Jim Beam
Clermont, KY
$22
Nose
Ethanol burn, grainy with corn sweetness, banana taffy, sweet tea notes, spice, oak without heavy barrel char or smokiness
Palate
Dry with forward spice attacking the tip of the tongue, oak-prevalent, black pepper heat, pecan and pecan shell bitterness, smoky charcoal flavor, tobacco notes reminiscent of sweet cigars, building hug with medium length finish
Finish
Soft and medium in length, black pepper heat on the back palate, drying finish with subtle spice
Respectable
A dry, grain-forward rye best suited for cocktails with sweetness; solid value at $22 for mixing rather than sipping neat.
