Jim Beam Distiller's Cut

Oily and orange color N: sweet sugar and vanilla, cherry and citrus fruit, hint of leather and cinnamon P: lots of nut and oak, vanilla middle pepper and brown surgar F: long, soicy finish, just a hint of heat. Amazing value. Something I would definitely consider a daily drinker

Look: looks like a pretty typical bourbon, burnt orange, light edges, slight alcohol legs. Nose: Oak, rye spice, then a deep breath and I get more vanilla/sweetness. A great, albeit not unique, nose. Going in for a deep nosing, some fruity notes come out and nuttiness. Palate: so much nuttiness, it’s like the unsalted almonds I buy at the store. After the nut flavor, some slight spice intermingles with oak and vanilla for a nice mild dram. Finish: Vanilla on the finish, lasting a long time. Little heat, slightly drying but nothing crazy. Not a lot of bitterness. The second sips finish gives me more spiciness, the site review nails the black pepper feel. Overall: This is a great bourbon, especially when considering the price. The nuttiness really pops out to me more than any bourbon I’ve experienced, and all the flavors and heat level make for a very pleasant experience.

0-1.5: Disgusting. Worth only mixing or meeting the drain. 2: Bad. Drinkable, but majorly flawed 2.5: Sub-par. OK, but bland or somewhat flawed. 3: Good. Decent stuff, but I won’t be rushing to buy it 3.5: Very good. I’d love to keep a bottle around 4: Excellent. I would like to own a case. A go to for me that is worthy of celebrating 4.5: Incredible.Truly high end, elite level, very noteworthy 5: Sublime. Nearly perfect and an all time favorite

Tastes a lot more expensive than it is.
