Jim Beam (200ml) 2010 and still very reasonably priced

and still very reasonably priced for a wine of such quality

ageworthy Rioja that may well be the single greatest wine made in that appellation

sweet perfume of black truffles

An immense effort

Jim Beam (200ml) 2010 and still very reasonably pricedA lovely, sophisticated bourbon bouquet comprising fruity, cornmeal aromas which are followed by a red fruit scent, all underpinned by an oaky vanilla quality. Entry is reserved, gently sweet and toffee like; the midpalate features succulent tastes of light caramel, honeywheat bread, caramel corn and toasted almond. Concludes fruity and corny. The best value American whiskey in the marketplace. Wine Enthusiast 85 89 points
