Jim Beam Rye

Nose: Some spices - nutmeg, white pepper, cloves. Very simple and one dimensional. Plate: Bland. More caramel and bourbon-like than any other rye I've tasted, but very low key. Finish: Barely any at all - the palate just dwindles quickly. The least impressive rye I've tasted - it's like it has been diluted to the point where all character has vanished. There is nothing actively unpleasant about it, but it has no presence or character. You can buy much better bottom shelf rye whiskies so I'm rating it as not quite "Adequate". "Inferior" : 69/100 (1.75 stars)
