Updated this after I tried the NAS and compared to KC Reserve. This is rich, bold, dark, and savory. It tastes of hearty oak and scorched sugar backed by some salted caramel. It's rough around the edges, but unlike Beam's other, younger offerings, it's in a good way- this is a "puts-hair-on-your-chest" bourbon. Straightforward but damn good! There is alcohol burn but, for me, it is forgivable here. Definitely pay the extra few for the Single Barrel Reserve, though. That offering is much more refined.

Spot on review. I agree about the Single barrel.
