Wanted to give this a try, ventured to ABC to look for it, and it just so happened that they got it in stock today. It was meant to be.
Nose: It’s complex. It feels like I get something different each time. Black cherries, bread, chocolate and some citrus...plus some typical bourbon notes (brown sugar, a little vanilla and caramel). The missus said it smelled like Black Forest Cake.
Taste: Less complex, but still a good deal going on. And it’s cohesive. Berries and grapes up front (probably the wine-barrel influence), then you get a sugary cola. Then fluffy bread. Classic Jim Beam peanuts finishes the ride. Definitely a PB&J vibe. Decent finish.
Overall: A very unique offering. Fun. I’m happy I purchased the bottle, a fair price at $35. I’m not sure it’s something I’ll always keep in stock, but I’m happy to have it in my collection for when I want something different.
I think it’s encouraging that a big whiskey company is experimenting, and I hope others do so as well
