Bourbon
Jim Beam
Clermont, KY

Nose
Crisp green apple with prominent vanilla and new oak character. A distinctive sawdust and wood shop aroma dominates, with warm undertones.
Palate
Buttery and silky smooth with silky texture. Peanut shell nuttiness and Granny Smith green apple emerge prominently. A minty note (likely from the rye component) adds complexity alongside vanilla and a pleasant balance of sweetness without being cloying. New oak is forward but not aggressive.
Finish
Warm with lingering peanut and oak notes. Mint carries through from the rye, and the finish exhibits a pleasant, moderate length.
Pleasant
A well-crafted blend of bourbon and rye that delivers classic Beam characteristics with an interesting array of apple, nut, and mint flavors.
