Flavor Profile
What to Expect: This bottle leans toward Smoky & Earthy and Sweet & Dessert-Like notes. Specific descriptors include char / smoke and vanilla.
Captures bourbon absorbed into the barrel's charred wood, blended back into the whiskey; deep char aroma with intense oak and vanilla, full-bodied and robust.
What Defines This Bottle
Age
This bottle carries no single stated age. Federal labeling rules only require an age statement when a whiskey is younger than 4 years, so a bottle without one may be genuinely young or simply old enough that stating it became optional.
Does No Age Statement Mean It's Young? →Mash Bill (Grain Bill) The recipe of raw grains milled and cooked for fermentation, defined by its dominant grain -- corn for bourbon, rye for rye whiskey. Learn more
Standard Beam Bourbon: 77% Corn, 13% Rye, 10% Malted Barley
