Jim Beam Signature Craft High Rye Bourbon 11 Year

Nose: starts off with some wonderfully lite herbal and floral notes, along with some cream covered berries - let's you know this is a high rye right off the bat, but hints at more to come Palate: the cream coolness comes out at the front but quickly gives way spice and herbal notes - is unfortunately a bit thin Finish: the pepper spice stays for the finish but fades rather quickly - does not leave much of an impression Overall: fairly disappointing offering for the Harvest Series, Thank goodness others in the vertical make up for this one.

Strong nose, with fruit, baking spice, leather. On the palate, smooth, with sour fruit, cinnamon, turpentine. Sweetness, but also an astringent rye note. Cacao nibs on the backend. 1/19/19
