Member Ratings and Notes
Chris
 
A completely average bourbon, I couldn't find anything distinctly interesting in it, but it's full flavored (even if that flavor is nothing special) and that brought it up from a C.
Adam
 
Nose is classically bourbon, mild.  Palate -- agreeable, mild, bourbony bourbon.  Finishes well, and long, although the very tail is all heat.

N: A light sweetness with a good hearty dose of wood, some caramel and a touch of vanilla. Familiar Beam sugary notes come through after a minute. Gets a bit thin and slightly peppery. Softens with a bit of time in the glass. 

 

P: A little cinnamon up front, some heat on the lips. Lots of caramel, some wood, a very little bit of dried orange. Slightly leathery with a hint of tobacco. 

 

F: A little kick of black cherries upfront, some vanilla behind and a little light pepper. 

 

This drinks a little hotter than it should, but it's one of the best Beam products I've had. Nice caramel body.
