Not really a great rye and not really a great Jim Beam, this was not what I was expecting, but in its own right it is a decent whisky. Cinnamon spice and oak are very dominant. I like to let this one breathe. This Prohibition style rye is not like anything I’ve tasted before, it is sweet and smooth but at the same time there is depth and potency. I might buy again but not as a rye substitute, because the limited amount of actual rye in this is very noticeable when comparing to an actual Canadian rye whisky
