I very thoroughly enjoyed it at the price point (50% clearance for $16.99) but I wouldnt pay full msrp. It's got grown-up and more distinguished peanut funk. The palate steers towards the delicious rye hints of OGD, age perhaps? Mouth is even more (by truly only a pinch) oily than regular Jimmy B, but it's well placed unlike regular beam. The kind of mouth you get from standard knob--nice enough. The 100 proof got me in trouble. I could see this being a very nice gift for someone who swears by Beam as it's so much more than the regular expression. Bump it up to 3.5 for ease of drinking--this one is easyyyyy going down.
