Part of a sample Jim Beam 12 Days of Christmas pack sampler. Third of the 12. Quick hit review.
You would think the nose would be dripping of honey. You would be incorrect. It’s sweet, but more of cherry Pine Brothers cough drops and Grenadine syrup sitting gathering a damp must.
The palate is unlike the nose and its here where the honey makes its presence, but like Pine Brothers honey cough drops. Syrupy and artificially sweet.
Devolves to C&C cream soda and red licorice.
I was prejudiced going in expecting golden honey flavors. Alas, I was provided with cherry flavors. The artificial nature begs for dilution. Seltzer may work best for a spritz. If I may compare, again, JD Honey is of better “honey” flavor. [Tasted: 12/5/20]

The one thing we can be sure it won't taste like is taste black cherry @Scott_E 🤣
@ContemplativeFox exactly. This should have been, for me, Jim Beam Cherry. Ironically, there is a Black Cherry in the mix. I would guess that may taste of honey.
Wow, you know it's bad when you can't even identify the flavor they're marketing it as in the palate.
@Scott_E good point. If my wife or kids got me that, I’d do the same——diligently drink it all.
@PBMichiganWolverine Great question. My wife picked this up at the liquor store. With that, I am splitting the 50ml sample bottles with her. She wanted to try the flavored ones. She is the Eve to my Adam. Foul temptress!! Lol!
Aka Continuation down Trail of Tears. Begs the question...why? You have so many great samples stashed away...
