Whiskey Review: Jim Beam Kentucky Dram Whiskey

Delicious. It opens up quite sweet, but doesn’t step over that fine line to become cloying. Apricots, licorice, and vanilla. After a moment the Scotch part of the blend shows itself… it’s subtle, but absolutely noticeable. An earthy back of the tongue finish that lingers pleasantly until the next sip. Final Thoughts Sometimes when I’m reviewing a whiskey I just know that I’ll never finish the bottle. It’ll get relegated to the back of the shelf, or conveniently forgotten at a party somewhere. That will not be the case here. To give you an idea: Upon the writing of this article, my one liter bottle is currently half-empty. Yeah, this one’s not lasting long… the combination of smooth, sweet, and peat all hit the right spots for me. It’s a bit on the pricier side, but in my opinion worth it. Next time you’re passing through customs, I highly recommend leaving some room for a bottle in your carry-on. Score:
