Jim Beam Repeal Batch

Tasting Notes

About:

The whiskey is aged for four years, non-chill filtered and bottled at 43% ABV. It is priced around $18 per 750 ml bottle.
Appearance:
It’s coppery in color, bright and golden like a shiny penny. The legs are slightly oily, lingering on the glass in little droplets.
Nose:
Buttered popcorn, charred oak and vanilla stand out initially. They’re followed by background whispers of toffee, black pepper, honey, cloves and almonds. It errs on the sweeter side, with an interesting aroma of savory flavors sprinkled in.
Palate:
It’s got a nice balance of charred oak and vanilla sweetness that you might find in any bourbon. The mouthfeel does stand out as bolder and more complex than what you would typically find from Jim Beam Bourbon. The texture is a bit oily, and coats the mouth first with heavy char flavor, followed by notes of persimmons, cinnamon, corn, vanilla and butterscotch. The sweetness was balanced nicely, although the char flavor was sometimes a little overpowering. The finish is spicy with cinnamon and rye flavors, lasting about as long as I wanted it to, maybe 15 seconds. Overall, a solid release at a great price point.

Comments:
I actually bought this whiskey a few times at my local liquor store because it was very easy to drink and because it’s so reasonably priced. My other favorite limited release from Jim Beam is their Distiller’s Cut, which I also think is a really good value for the quality of the whiskey, so I buy a bottle whenever I can find it. Its nice because it’s decent enough to enjoy straight or with a mixer or cocktail.
