What it’s like

A bourbon from the Beam house with a recipe containing more rye than usual, according to the brand, and a low strength for its category. The result is light and spicy: pepper, mint, honey, vanilla and soft oak. It is an easy-drinking bourbon, designed for those who find others too intense, and a good gateway to the Kentucky style.

Nose
Pepper, mint and honey, with vanilla and a touch of soft oak.
Palate
Light and spicy. Caramel, rye, spice and fruit, with some tea.
Finish
Short to medium, dry and spicy, with a hint of honey.
