Tastes

Had at Buffalo Wild Wings waiting for Nathan McCann on BOGO boneless Thursday night. Nice herbally, green minty nose with rye. Taste actually has nice caramel and vanilla, but tastes quite young and green/earthy with a fresh pop of rye spice at the end

Bought for an incredible price at CityWide Liquors on Grape Road (normally around $65) Color: nice medium amber Nose: 9.7/10! Different! Brilliant, bright, airy butterscotch with, at the same time, bold undertones of toffee and mint Taste: soft butterscotches caramels, vanillas, lightly roasted nuts, and then a light WAVE of buttery barley with lingering barley/gingery zing that fades to pepper. Mash: 70% corn (yellow dent 2) 20% wheat (soft red winter) 10% barley (Two-row, combination distillers malt and base two-row). Undisclosed age. I love it all the way up until the lingering barley taste (I hate that barley flavor)

Blind taste test. Color is a lighter-medium amber Nose is a lot like Blade and Bow but a touch softer. Green apple Taste is buttery vanilla/butterscotch with sweet dried fruit flavor and a soft rye peppercorn finish. Upon reveal, the extra oak, caramel, and vanillas from extra aging really do make a nice difference! The Jim Beam signature lasting burn in the bottom of the throat persists 3.25

**see review with H2O** Marmalade (and apple, wheat) flavor is quite strong when trying in a highball glass with a chilled whiskey stone. A sweet, fruity flavor with tobacco/leather/toffee undertones. **when a splash of water is added: nuttier, butterscotch/caramel, leathery notes come through

Could not find at any stores near me, but found a bottle at Total Wine in Grand Rapids while visiting Kyle Dubiak for Brewfest 2022! Color is a medium amber. Nose lights up the nostrils with a strong rye spice with some nice toffee undertones. Taste is light, airy, buttery, and a beautiful splash of butterscotch and rye spice with a long-lasting spice, vanilla, and oak finish. Great value buy!!

I have enjoyed this more and more as I have progressed through the bottle. Found it best served over a single whiskey stone in a whiskey highball glass. The caramel flavor is strong with sweet chocolate, cherry, and some smoke

Color is medium amber with a nose of soft caramel and toffee and butterscotch. A lot of butterscotch/vanilla flavor - soft and buttery, oily - with a hint of banana and ending rye spice 3.75

Bought at Belmont Bev on S Main in Mishawaka. Pours with a lot of beaded bubbles = high proof! Color is a nice medium-dark amber. Nose has a lot of ethanol heat, a lot of dark fruit, caramel and rye spice. Flavor is sweet vanilla, caramel, spice, dark fruits/cherry, butterscotch, candy with toasted bread and baking spice notes at the very end. Smoke and some maple flavors are also present.

Blind taste test. Color - light-medium amber Nose - smells like a more subtle Blade and Bow. Ethanol dominates, but dark fruits also present. Subtle rye. Taste - caramel, apple, bready, and a finish of baking/ rye spice Upon reveal, I nailed it haha. Honey/butterscotch instead of carmel, but yup - as advertised. Not the biggest fan

Blind taste test. Color - very light yellow Nose- rye spice overpowers, mint, young youthful green scents Taste - surprisingly not the amount of rye spice predicted by the smell. Kind of watery with caramel, vanilla and popcorn. A bit of spice at the end, but there’s a big “hole” in flavor between the beginning sweetness and the end spice.
