Producing WhiskyCast has given me the opportunity to taste some really amazing whiskies, and I’m pleased to share my tasting notes with you here. You can search my entire database of tasting notes from this page, and I hope you’ll find it useful.
This four-year-old Bourbon is available only at the Jim Beam Urban Stillhouse in Louisville’s Fourth Avenue Live entertainment district and a handful of Kentucky retailers. While future editions will come from the Urban Stillhouse’s own microdistillery, current bottlings were distilled at the Jim Beam Distillery in Clermont, Kentucky – despite what an Urban Stillhouse staff member tried to tell us in mid-2018 less than two years after the place opened. The reason to try this one – it’s bottled at 50% ABV with no chill-filtering.
The nose has a nice aroma, with notes of caramel, charred oak, crème brûlée, and a touch of cherries. The taste starts off with a touch of caramel cola, followed by cinnamon, vanilla, brown sugar, and cherries. The finish is long and fades away slowly with touches of spices, caramel, and brown sugar.
