This presents a nose dominated by peanut brittle, butterscotch, and whole grain cereal. The blend of this whiskey makes for an interesting palate of honey, nuts, and salted caramel. I love Beam's exploration of rice bourbons. The finish was medium-long, which was a little disappointing. For the proof, this whiskey does not drink very hot, which I find to be the case with a lot of Beam cask strength releases.
