Tasting
How it drinks
- Sight
- Deep amber-mahogany; rich and viscous, heavy legs
- Nose
- Salted caramel, vanilla, oak, brown sugar, and a hint of peanut brittle. The Beam family's peanut note appears in its most refined form
- Palate
- Caramel, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, dark chocolate, then pepper. A well-rounded batch that balances sweet, spice, and nutty Beam character. At 125.8 proof it's powerful but approachable
- Finish
- Moderately long with oak, cocoa, and pepper spice. Dark chocolate persists through the finish, complemented by warming cinnamon and vanilla. A fitting tribute batch named for Jimmy Russell
Tasting notes are AI-assisted and still being refined.
