It comes across initially as mild and relatively flavorless, but once I got the PPP (proper palate placement) right, more of the whiskey's character began to shine through.
You have to sort of glean the character out of this dram, by working it correctly in your mouth, by holding it for the right amount of time in your mouth, and passing it across the palate in the right way. After that it became much more enjoyable for me.
The initial taste is of caramel and toffee and some corn influence. And then, a mild but tangible explosion of rye fizz on the tongue when the dram is given the proper chance to express itself.
It's not as aggressive as say, Wild Turkey Rare Breed. No , this version of Jim Beam is a little more on the shy side and needs a little more coaxing to come out of it's shell. But with the properly trained palate, this is a whiskey well worth its very reasonable price.
Rob's Rating: 7 out of 10
