Beam’s Little Ebook launch for 2022 arrives as one other very uncommon mix, this time incorporating a bourbon and 4 straight malt whiskeys, every with a distinct end, some fairly uncommon. What’s within the bottle? Right here’s the breakdown of the mix:
4-year-old straight malt whiskey completed with cherrywood staves
4-year-old straight malt whiskey completed with applewood smoked barrels
4-year-old straight malt whiskey completed in hickory smoked barrels
4-year-old straight malt whiskey completed with maplewood staves
5-year-old Kentucky straight bourbon
Proportions usually are not detailed. Additionally: One presumes that the identify “To The End” doesn’t suggest that is the ultimate chapter within the sequence, after all. With that stated, let’s attempt it out.
On the nostril, issues are instantly surprising — although given the above mix, I’m undecided I even knew what I used to be anticipating in any respect. An instantaneous brown sugar sweetness kicks issues off, however it fades quickly sufficient to disclose a smoldering high quality of toasted cumin, cardamom, and hickory smoked almonds, all of which is pushed by these varied barrel finishes, to make certain. Issues get spicier and smokier as they develop in glass, the cumin word giving solution to a nuttier, wood-forward character that showcases quite a lot of flavors starting from almond shells to darkish chocolate. There’s ample purple pepper within the combine on the end, culminating with yeasty notes of bread dough and unctuous malt syrup — that malt whiskey factor lastly coming extra clearly into focus.
As is commonly the case with Little Ebook, that is bizarre and distinctive stuff that you’ll in all probability both love or hate, relying on what number of drams you’ve had already, after all.
