Clear, amber-gold appearance. Aroma of sweet grains and a touch of dark malt. The flavor is of sweet corn, white bread, and just a bit of dark molasses. Medium body and a moderately-long finish. RJT

My bottle does NOT provide a blend ratio, but only states that it is 100% blended American whiskies. It might be from 1995 and is obviously from the old Beam Co. days. No age statement. Appearance is of clear tan. Aroma is of nut, vanilla, and corn nuts. Flavor is of those elements with some barrel char. Medium body. Short-to-medium finish. I am thinking that this black label (clear glass) version might just be a dump of various pure Beam whiskies of the time, to sell at the cut-rate level. RJT

Seagram's 7 Crown Apple has a clear, amber appearance. The aroma is of grain neutral spirits base, with possible apple notes. The flavor is of sweet, spiced apple, oak, and bourbon. The body is medium, with a medium-long finish. RJT

This has a brilliant, clear, amber appearance. The aroma is of candied corn and assorted other grains. The flavor is of the candy corn, with rye spice. The body is medium, and it finishes smooth and bold, but not biting. RJT
