Jim Beam Rye Whiskey is well known to most bourbon drinkers. Founded in 1795 it is one of the older distilleries in Kentucky. With 200+ years of whiskey making experience they produce a diversity of fine products. One of Beam’s latest offerings is a “pre-prohibition style rye,” which is a back to the future take and revamp on their traditional rye whiskey.

Based on one of the family’s oldest recipes and bottled at 90 proof, Fred Noe, Jim Beam’s 7th generation master distiller, said of this rye in a statement that “we’ve heard loud and clear from bartenders and whiskey fans that they are looking for a bolder rye that stands up better in cocktails. We listened to this feedback, and know that the time is right to make history by taking a classic product that’s loved around the world and making it even better.”

The Jim Beam Pre-Prohibition Style Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey, according to those behind it, has the spice that one looks for in a good rye on the nose. Notes of black pepper with vanilla and oak on the palate with a smooth, long and warm finish make this rye a perfect winter whiskey on its own or in cocktails.

Nose:

Grassy Beam character with a healthy dose of green apple, freshly-mown grass, and fresh corn kernels. The dominant note on the aroma is tart: that green apple almost turning into lime juice. There is very little of the expected rye profile: no cinnamon, no clove, and only a hint of anise. Still, there are no unpleasant notes, and no “paint thinner” or chemical smells.

Palate:

Syrupy body. Hot, with an unpleasant amount of burn for a 90 proof whiskey. Burnt caramel, caramel apple, unroasted coffee beans, and (at last) a swath of bakery spices. Now it tastes like a rye, although the youthful grassy notes are still evident.

Finish:

Medium-short. Tart again, with more apple and now candy-corn. This fades quickly, leaving apple skins, slightly bitter barrel char, and a touch of paint thinner.
