Come as a friend, leave as family. That is Jim Beam’s motto. My guess is that that is the reason Jo Nesbo’s Harry Hole loved it so much. This bourbon is aging for 4 years in newly charred American white oak, thus the elegant, smooth and refined character.
NOSE
Quite sweet with gentle notes of vanilla, caramel and cut hay, a touch of fresh corn fields and a little cereal sweetness, like the bluegrass fields of Kentucky.
PALATE
Toasty oak and all the requisite notes of vanilla, caramel and crème anglaise, a little spice and pepper.
FINISH
Toasty oak and resin with a some sweetness.
