Jim Beam Signature Craft 12 Year Bourbon

Stupid smooth sipper, slight spice, no finish

Good Jim beam notes, offering more flavor than normal..Woody, vanilla, lots of fruit. Not a great finish but good. Not sure it’s worth the price

Woody vanilla with a little smoke

N- very nice- light fruit- corn- wood and spice - nice balance F - warm- Med burn-- corn- vanilla- light spice- better finish- would have given it a higher score -

Creamy and balanced. The time in the barrel has given this a more complex profile than younger JB products. The lower proof probably helped to tame some of the barrel influence in this and smooth it out, and the proofing has resulted in a very good pour to savor when you aren't in the mood to be smacked in the face with intensity. Glad I found it, and found it on sale.

I recently finished a bottle of this liquid and it is very good but not great. I really wanted to like this Bourbon and tried it neat, on the rocks, and in an Old Fashioned and it nice but did not knock my socks off especially for the price. I liked the taste it was not too hot neat and it opened up very nicely on the rocks but it did not have the full rounded flavor of Henry McKenna BiB or David Nicholson Reserve and yes I know they are a higher proof but this Bourbon just tasted thin. Still, it is not a bad drink but it is very close to JB Black or the Repeal Batch but at a higher price. If I find this on sale I would buy it again but at this price point, it is now a pass for me. If you like Jim Beam products then this is going to make you happy but it is just not my glass of Bourbon.
