Very solid, baby knob creek. That said, these notes are delayed but that was the takeaway. Not much heft but still more than enough caramel, cinnamon bun and a dash of roasted peanut. There is plenty of competition at this price point. I will say this is the only Beam product I’ve tried under $20 that holds its own. Up against classics such as WT 101, EW BiB, OF 100, and FR yellow label I can’t say that I would pick this over any other but wouldn’t shy away either. I think I would probably reach for JTS Brown 100 (Heaven Hill) or Old Bardstown BiB (Willett) but that is based strictly on my palate preferences. All are equally good and shouldn’t be passed over or shunned as sippers and mixers alike.
