Jim Beam Distiller's Masterpiece

Drammers Club Pour. Aged around 10 years with a 1 month finish in PX casks. Great stuff, as close one can get to a bourbon sherry bomb.

Tasted at Josh’s. Unbelievable. So smooth you could chug it. Only thing holding it back for me selfishly is it’s not a lot of rye so it isn’t very spicy. But awesome.

N: Citrusy butterscotch with that wine spike P: Oily orange vanilla that moves to a nice cinnamon spice F: Kentucky hug of dry charred oak and sweet wine

Lots of extra wood

I hate to harp on this but as per usual the "expert" reviewer had absolutely botched this review up. To even make the statement that the finish "hits you like a 2*4 to remind you it's from the US of A" tells me all I need to know about his credibility. @Mikkel definitely needs to look at who is assigned to review American Whiskey because this bias is pretty prevalent on here and honestly and this point I have no faith in their reviews. Ok, no I am off my high horse! For those of you that have read my reviews I hope trust I am impartial and love Whiskey expressions for all over the globe so here goes a fair review of what is truly an exceptional dram... It enters rich and soft with a pronounced orange marmalade note. Vanilla and cinnamon are layered in with a toasted oak back bone. Mid palette brings some dark red fruit notes... Both dried and fresh... Tobacco and baking spices lead the long finish which brings back more toasted oak. The balance is exceptional. The mouthfeel is exceptional. The Bourbon is unique and exceptional. Cheers all!
