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

Baking spice with notes of clove, nutmeg, and cinnamon; bread-like quality with nutty character; light ethanol on initial nose.

Hits initially with a watery wash that coats the tongue; light on richness with honey and tea notes; corn sweetness present but less pepper and spice than expected from the nose; mid-palate focused with limited back-end development.

Quick finish that falls off rapidly with minimal lingering presence.

Disappointing
A respectable, appropriately-priced bottled in bond that works better as a mixer than as a straight sipper, lacking the depth and richness one might expect from the nose.
