Jim Beam Vanilla

It's very sweet but I've warmed up to it. It is at least drinkable, moreso than the original. I enjoy mixing it as a sweetener with other whiskey.

Just doing a quick review here as I’m at a Friendsgiving party and this was out on the bar. Figured I’d give it a taste and see just how bad it is. Bottled at 35% ABV and is chill filtered and has colorant added making it a honey gold color. The nose is all vanilla ice cream, harsh alcoholic vanilla ice cream. A trace hit of oak but nothing to really take note of. Very sugary, sticky sweet and not in a good way. The palate starts out with with sweet vanilla ice cream, but quickly, very quickly, takes on a green olive taste. It’s really gross and strange. Sugary olive brine with vanilla. Harsh at times, but very sugary. This stuff is meant for drowning with Coke or putting in some fruity tropical drink with coconut. A light bodied mouthfeel that is syrupy and thick. The, unfortunately, is much longer than you’d like. Vanilla and olive brine. Please don’t buy this unless you are designating it for mixing. Don’t try it neat, it’s garbage.

Too sweet. Maybe use as a mixer.
