Flavor Profile

What to Expect: This bottle leans toward Spice and Sweet & Dessert-Like notes. Specific descriptors include clove and honey.

A revival of the pre-Jim Beam-era family name; floral honey and clove-laced oak give way to warm brown spice, honeyed sweetness, and a bright citrus lift.

What Defines This Bottle

Bottled-in-Bond

A federally regulated designation; single distiller, single season, aged at least 4 years, bottled at exactly 100 proof; layered on top of an underlying recipe rather than describing one of its own.

Governed by the Bottled-in-Bond Act of 1897 (27 CFR § 5.42): single distiller, single distillery, single distillation season, aged at least 4 years in a federally bonded warehouse, bottled at exactly 100 proof. This site's own catalog records one proof designation per bottle, so a real-world Bottled-in-Bond release that also happens to be barrel-proof-labeled may only surface here under one of the two designations -- see How to Read a Label and the Proof & Dilution Calculator for how a fixed 100-proof requirement compares to standard and barrel-proof bottling.

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.
