Old Tub Kentucky Straight Bourbon

Pleasantly surprised. You can tell it’s Jim Beam but it’s got that little bit extra. The heat is what you would expect on something this young but still tasty.

Heavy wood and vanilla. But a bit more oak where Beam is balsa wood. Still young and thin, more heat.

Great bourbon for the price. Very pleasant aftertaste.

Happy to see this BIB finally released outside the distillery facilities. Saves me a trip to Beam, and at a good price too. Bought a backup bottle in the event this truly is a one-off release for mid 2020. Neat in Glencairn at home. Nose has apples, cherries, peanut shells, touch of honey, then mild pepper and oak. Nice. Taste has some baking spice, cherry cola, some heat comes on with black pepper, lingering finish brings back some of the peanut shell. Little Kentucky hug after a couple tastes, I found myself doing some odd shoulder shimmy thing. That's a new one, I think it means that I like it. Don't love it, but definitely like it quite a bit. For the price, the heritage of the bottle, and the quality, it is a snap buy decision. 7/16/20.

Drank neat, smooth enjoyable drinkable bourbon. Feels really nice in the mouth and has a nice flavor. Doesn't linger long on the burn. Good solid bottle and a stand out bottle in that price range. I will be buying a second bottle cause I'm afraid it will become a hard to find I'm ashamed to say. So best bottle under 20.00 and I've tasted more than I care to remember. (a little hobby of mine sub 25 bottles tasting) But glad I tried this one.
