Old Tub Kentucky Straight Bourbon
Review
The James B. Beam Distilling Company launched this limited-edition, bottled-in-bond release as an homage to one of the Beam family’s oldest brands. In terms of pure economics, you’re getting a 4-year-old (at least), 100-proof bourbon here for less than $25, which is a steal these days. As for its character, this bourbon has an inviting nose, and the palate lands spicy, lively, and slightly rough around the edges but in a charming way.
