Reviewed December 4, 2020 (edited August 11, 2023)Great bottle for the money if you like the typical Beam flavor profile. This tastes like a slightly richer version of Knob Creek, but not quite as rich as the KC SiB 120 proof. It's also very similar to Baker's 7, but less nutty. Solid bottle for $32!32.0 USD per Bottle -

Reviewed October 29, 2020 (edited August 11, 2023)Can see why others are comparing it to Knob Creek SB, but I think it tastes like a more potent version of Jim Beam. Missing some of the spice and finish of KCSB, and the mouthfeel isn’t as nice either. Good, but not great. Worth it at $25 (KY), but would suggest regular Knob Creek instead since it’s better and sells for $5 less in many places.38.0 USD per Bottle -

Reviewed October 26, 2020 (edited August 11, 2023)This is barrel number 000325279. The nose is pretty alcohol forward. Once I get underneath the alcohol I pick up raisin, peanut, maple syrup and a slight oaky bitterness akin to that you might get from dandelion greens, but not unpleasant. On the palette I get a good dose of the typical JB signature nutty flavor. Very Knob Creek-ish but with a more powerful Kentucky hug and a bit more oak. On the finish the Kentucky hug lasts awhile but most of the flavor fades except for the oak. Overall a decent bourbon. I like higher proof bourbons, so I’d put it a step above Knob Creek.40.0 USD per Bottle -

Reviewed October 8, 2020 (edited November 15, 2020)As a Jim Beam fan I didn’t like this expression on the first or second time tasting it. 3rd time that classic Beam flavor comes through. Nice oak and toffee with a spice punch. Dark fruit seems to be there in the back. Still not a smooth as I would prefer but much better now that it’s been open for a few weeks. Long spicy finish with the 108 proof dominating. Still not my top favorites from Beam but not kerosene either -

Reviewed September 15, 2020 (edited August 11, 2023)So, I heard about this bottle months ago and I finally found it. Not a lot of information on this out there. Why doesn't the Jim Beam website list this next to the Jim Beam Single Barrel 95 proof? Why is the 95 proof, chill filtered version more expensive? How is this different than Baker's, which is nearly the same proof and also single barrel, but way more expensive? I have a lot of questions, but I'm glad I got to try it. So, flavor: It's a recognizable but cleaner Jim Beam profile. Reminds me of Knob Creek single barrel, and you might feel like this is a KCSB just proofed down to 108. The reason I describe it as cleaner is because there's a lot less peanut, and a lot less heat and dark caramelized sugar qualities than what you usually find in KCSB, even accounting for proof variance. Overall, it tastes less dry/dusty. Almost like it really was filtered, despite the statement on the label to the contrary. It's a pleasant, neat sipper, with some creaminess that allows it to drink smoother than its proof. So, is it worth it? Unfortunately, I paid $38 for this in NJ. At that price, it's just fine, not much different in value than KCSB at $10 more and 12 proof more. On the other hand, the product is being sold for $24 in Kentucky. At that price it would have been a steal, no question!38.0 USD per Bottle -
