Bourbon
Beam Suntory
Clermont, KY
$22
63% corn, 27% rye, 10% malted barley
Nose
Spicy with worn leather notes reminiscent of a baseball glove or saddle, cinnamon candy character, corn sweetness, and prominent rye spice.
Palate
Cinnamon-forward with a sizzling pop, sweet and well-balanced, oily and viscous mouthfeel, big red chewing gum quality, oak and leather on the backend, developing nuttiness and a hint of dark fruit like cherries or dates.
Finish
Pleasant, medium length, lacks a pronounced Kentucky hug despite the high rye content.
Above average
A well-rounded, spicy high-rye bourbon that delivers excellent value and makes an approachable introductory pour for bourbon newcomers.
