Jim Beam Signature Craft 12 Year Bourbon

NOSE: Light corn and salty smell at the beginning. A hint of green apple which quickly went away. After some time in the glass, I started getting the classic oak, char, caramel, vanilla scents. PALATE: Light buttery corn continues on the palate, dryness. Did not get the sweetness others got. FINISH: Medium. Dryness continues on the finish, like that of a mouthwash, but in a good way, not over astringent. Got spices, a pleasant burn and maybe a hint of dark chocolate. Some of these notes are not what Im used to or those I prefer. That being said, I was surprised to how much I liked this.

NOSE: Right away this is a more refined style of bourbon. Nothing shouts at you. The vanilla, caramel, and cinnamon are balanced. Maybe banana in there. Sweet but complex. PALATE: It’s gentle for a bourbon, there is no punch or slap. Flavor develops from sweet to spicy and finishes with a clean oak. Very pleasant and layered sipper! OVERALL: In a blind test I may have even called this a Scotch!

very nice..m
