Jim Beam Honey

Great for a hotty toddy.

Part of a sample Jim Beam 12 Days of Christmas pack sampler. Third of the 12. Quick hit review. You would think the nose would be dripping of honey. You would be incorrect. It’s sweet, but more of cherry Pine Brothers cough drops and Grenadine syrup sitting gathering a damp must. The palate is unlike the nose and its here where the honey makes its presence, but like Pine Brothers honey cough drops. Syrupy and artificially sweet. Devolves to C&C cream soda and red licorice. I was prejudiced going in expecting golden honey flavors. Alas, I was provided with cherry flavors. The artificial nature begs for dilution. Seltzer may work best for a spritz. If I may compare, again, JD Honey is of better “honey” flavor. [Tasted: 12/5/20]
