Old Tub Bottled-in-Bond Bourbon
100 proof 4 years Bourbon Jim Beam Clermont, KY $23
Nose

Baking spice with clove and nutmeg; cinnamon and bread notes; nutty character with nut bread character.

Palate

Light honey and tea notes; corn sweetness; hits watery initially then coats the tongue; mid-palate focus with limited richness; lacks the robust baking spice expected from the nose.

Finish

Quick fade with minimal back-end presence and short finish.

Lackluster
An appropriately priced mixer with nostalgic appeal, but a watery front-end and thin finish limit its appeal as a standalone sipper despite the interesting label and historical significance.
