Little Book Chapter 1 "The Easy"
128.2 proof NAS Blended Straight Whiskey James B. Beam Distilling Company Clermont, KY $80 Blend of four different whiskeys: 4-year-old bourbon, 13-year-old corn whiskey, 6-year-old 100% malt whiskey, 6-year-old high rye whiskey
Nose

Young oak, chewy caramel with funky hard plastic wrapper notes, corn whiskey character, malted barley, youthful oak impression

Palate

Spicy with rice sizzle from high alcohol level and rye content, sweet upfront that dissipates quickly, transitions to spicy and drying on the back palate, nutty notes, lacks typical bourbon caramel and vanilla, atomic fireball-like character

Finish

Medium length peppery rye finish, significant alcohol hug that builds in the chest, drying quality without lingering caramel, spicy and warm

Pleasant
A bold, unconventional blended whiskey with aggressive spice and warmth that rewards adventurous drinkers seeking something beyond traditional bourbon profiles.
