Distillery Tasting Notes

Made by Beam Suntory, Inc. ~ James B. Beam Distilling Co. (Jim Beam)

The deep amber color reflects the complex aroma and flavor of the batch to be bottled. The nose is pleasant with the vanilla and toasted nuts that is inviting and makes you eager to sip this great bourbon. The flavor of this batch is smooth and well balanced with a finish that I enjoyed neat without adding any water.
