Old Tub Kentucky Straight Bourbon

Old Tub, to my knowledge could only be picked up in the gift shop at Jim Beam, but I found it at a liquor store in Louisville for $15. Aged 4 years and bottled in bond. Nose: Not very complex, basic bourbon nose - caramel, vanilla, char and ethanol, slight peanut Palate: a little harsh, but mellows out the longer it sits, Kentucky Hug going down - slight grain, caramel and vanilla, ethanol, cinnamon spice finish, possibly a marshmallow note in the middle? This is an ok bourbon. I don’t know if $15 for a 375mL 4 year BiB Bourbon is priced correctly, but I appreciate the liquid. 70/100

A very interesting whiskey. Immediate sweet notes of caramel, and subtle notes of vanilla, as well as oak on the nose. Has a spice at first taste, but it quickly mellows out. I also pick up nuances of citrus and apple with this one. I love that it is bottled in bond, and the history that goes along with it. A good bourbon, that has the perfect amount of bite, in my opinion. Given it’s higher abv, and for only being aged 4 years, I would say that it is fairly smooth as well. An all around great bourbon that packs a punch.
