Jim Beam Black (70cl, 43%)

Nose: is quite complex and well-balanced. There are notes of crème anglaise and butterscotch, mixed dried peels and nuts, a hint of aniseed and lovely cereal sweetness.

Palate: is full and thick with fruit. There are notes of vanilla fudge and honey, cereal sweetness, plenty of rye with a hint of cooked fruit.

Finish: is of good length with a touch of toasty oak spice.
