Old Tub Kentucky Straight Bourbon

The original Jim Beam, rich and spicy. Probably a nice mixer for some old fashions.

Good value if you're a fan of the beam peanutty profile.

As a proof snob, when it comes to bourbon, I thought going down to 100 is worth the journey, especially for 1/2 the money I usually spend. Old Tub has a great story which includes the authentic nature of un-filtered whiskey. The nose is heavily corn forward with barrel spice and a cherry cough drop. The caramel and vanilla are definitely present on the taste, but I cant shake the cinnamon mint vibe - which for me isn't particularly pleasant. However I do get some black licorice, which I like, toward the finish, among the other flavors previously stated. The finish is pretty long for the money, but that may be due to the spiciness of this pour. 5.0 - go out and buy all of the stock you can find. 4.0 - must buy at least one bottle before you die. 3.0 - solid, must try at a bar, or mooch from a friend. 2.0 - didn't like it, you may. 1.0 - you may have the palate of my dog, and he licks his own ass.

Aroma is Alcohol front forward with vanilla and a nuts. First taste slight harsh nutty like pecans. It moves to a sweet vanilla then a rasp from the alcohol. Aftertaste nutty with depth. I like it the price was less than $25. well worth the money. 👍👍
