Flavor Profile
What to Expect: This bottle leans toward Sweet & Dessert-Like and Smoky & Earthy notes. Specific descriptors include caramel, char / smoke, and vanilla.
A tribute to the Beam family's first batch after Prohibition's 1933 repeal; non-chill filtered for a fuller, oakier profile with light vanilla, brown spice, and caramelized char.
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.
