This has a big fat candy nose with caramel, chocolate and some honey and maple notes.  It smells like a candy bar!  Big corny flavor.  Yes, this is definitely a Beam product, no doubt about that.  Even at a higher strength, it's got that light, sweet, corny flavor.  Oak starts to come out mid-palate and sets in for the finish, though that corn syrup is still there too.  It's a step up from the regular Knob Creek and the extra abv gives it some heft.  Not bad, worth trying.
