Jim Beam Honey

An inherited bottle from a family member. Open and about 3/4 full. Probably been in their cabinet for a few years. I know it was stored in a dark cabinet, so its age should be irrelevant to the taste. I tasted it neat from a glencairn this time to get a sense of it, but I've enjoyed this as a quick-mixer with coke and with ginger ale in the past. The pour is a very light brassy yellow and it looks thin with little sheeting or legs. I have no idea what the proof is, I didn't look. On the nose - ethanol and a sweet "whiskey-like" note. Tasted its very sweet with prominent honey flavors that are quite one-dimensional. Kind of like a honey-flavored breakfast cereal or something of that ilk. There is, of course, no complexity at all. This tastes EXACTLY like you think it will. All of that taken into account, It's not bad. Definitely not meant to be drunk straight. Mixed with some kind of carbonated whatever it can be enjoyed. I definitely wouldn't buy a bottle, as I think anytime I'd want a honey flavor in a real cocktail I'd opt for using a honey syrup. But for what it is - a flavored liquer not meant to be taken seriously - its spot on target.
