On the nose, heavy amount of the rye spices upfront with vanilla, honey, caramel and cherry notes in the background. Peanut skins become apparent on further wafts making it apparent that this is a Jim Beam product. The ethanol from 108 proof is apparent and adds to the spicey notes. Upon the mouth swirl, flavors of caramel, burnt sugar, and vanilla linger on the tongue with the spiciness filling the throat. Black pepper, and citrus notes become apparent with a hint of roasted peanuts. Warm and lasting on the palate and throat in a very nice way. Overall 3/5 on the nose; Taste 3.75/5; Overall 3.75/5 Repurchase: Yes Type: Daily Drinker
