Released in a Limited Edition format, this monstrous bottling from Beam pays tribute to Prohibition and its repeal with a new, non chill filtered release in the company's line of bourbons.
hough, the most interesting thing was the lack of a yeasty profile I often get with the lower proof Jim Beams. It’s something I never get in Booker’s or Knob Creek single casks and I’m not getting it in this. Makes me wonder if it’s a result of the chill-filtering
There’s nothing wrong with young whiskey per se, but putting in a fancy bottle isn’t quite enough to get me excited about it (even at a sub-$20 price).
Honestly, pretty surprising. For under $20, this performs really quite well, and it was featured as a Sleeper Bourbon in 2020's Whiskey From Home for a reason.

House Review
Nose:
Sweet cream, caramel, honey and melon. Not a ton going on here, but what is there is pleasant and ditches some young grain notes I get in Jim Beam White.
Taste:
Medium mouth feel. Cream, caramel, a light hint of cocoa and oak. No real heat, pleasant enough.
Finish:
Short to medium finish, plenty of nutty oak, cream and toffee here.
Overall:
Honestly, pretty surprising. For under $20, this performs really quite well, and it was featured as a Sleeper Bourbon in 2020's Whiskey From Home for a reason.
