Cask Type: New charred American oak, and I assume ex-bourbon barrels

Thoughts: It’s a bit of a mess and all over the place, but it doesn’t taste bad. If you like strong American whisky, it’s likely you could enjoy this, but you’d be more apt to enjoy a Knob Creek Single Barrel pick if you are still a Beam fan.
Score: 80 out of 100
