Jim Beam Pre-Prohibition Style Rye

Not as spicy as I anticipated. I am getting a lot of minty notes which I don’t love. Compared back to back with four roses small batch bourbon and this doesn’t hold up, granted it’s a little cheaper. It’s drinkable and a change of pace but it’s not one of my top neat whiskeys. I can imagine it making a good cocktail which is probably in line with the intent of the drink.

If you like ryes this one is pretty good and you can't beat the price. The expert description pretty much sums up my thoughts. This will be a staple on the bar going forward.

Calming the nerves after a scary snowy drive to the airport. Heat and spice prevalent. Here’s to hoping my flight stays on-time!
