NAS
Bourbon
Jim Beam (Beam Suntory)
$35-$37
Nose
Subtle and clean with caramel notes; minimal detection of the wine and cherry cask finishing.
Palate
Very mellow and smooth with good flavor; caramel character prominent; not hot despite the 94 proof; subtle bitterness on the back end that is not off-putting.
Finish
Smooth with a hint of bitterness; straightforward bourbon finish without excessive alteration from the cask finishing.
Overall Score
4 / 5
A well-balanced, approachable bourbon with subtle finishing characteristics that doesn't overpower the base spirit.
