Barrel 325646 Nose standard if distinct Beam sourness(mash?) peanut shell, brown sugar and baking spice. Still one of my favorite noses. No real burn or ethyl fume even at 108. Starts sweet, nice brown sugars as the peanut and leather kick in so does the high proof burn. This actually gets very hot in the middle and stays warm to the finish when all that heat subsides with some oak and tobacco nibs. There's really nothing extra here, it's Beam and if you like the Beam profile in a big bunch, you should really like this. Very representative of the "Beam profile", this SiB reminds me of the Distillers Cut release that came at a slightly lower proof, a little less of a full punch profile but also about half the price. This is one SiB I could easily see spiking with a bit of branch water to tame down the heat. Maybe not a great deal but really what SiB worth drinking is going to be considerably less than 40USD? Cheers!
