Whisky #160 – Jim Beam Small Batch Bourbon Whiskey
by 
Jim Beam Small Batch Bourbon Whiskey. Kentucky, United States. ABV: 40.00%. Tasted at Varnish, $10.50.
Colour: A striking deep cognac or port colour. Amazing.
Nose: Corn, some subtle sweet smokey notes too. Again, not a strong nose; you can really get the snozz right into the glass.
Palate: Very smooth for a bourbon, though the flavours are not too original.
Finish: Quite a long, smooth & also a subtle sweet finish. My mate Joel got the lingering port influences, have to agree with with him.
Comments: Interesting to learn that it was extra matured in ex-port barrels, I don’t recall having come across too many bourbons that have played around with extra maturation like this.
