Jim Beam Rye Whiskey 70cl

This is the first rye whisky I’ve ever tried, and I enjoyed it very much. Spices, caramel, and warmth on the palate … It’s all there. A delightful whiskey.

This Rye packs quite a punch with the pepper and caramel right off the bat. A very good rye in my opinion and will definitely purchase again. I like my drinks neat and this was a good one.

I really like this, like a decent scottish whisky mated with a bourbon. I can't understand the negative reviews - take a punt and you won't be disappointed.

As are all the products off Jim Beam: honest! Tastes as good as it gets for that price, a no nonsense drink... I happen to love it and it makes for great Manhattans at home

Love it.

Not bad, works really well as a mixer.

A very nice, balanced whiskey. I find the adverse comments puzzling.

Makes perfectly acceptable, swiggable Manhattan, which is what I bought it for. Nothing to write home about when drunk straight. It's...OK. Damned with faint praise, I suppose!

A side note though, prompted by reading other reviews: Canadian Whiskey is not necessarily rye whiskey, per se, even if it's often referred to as such. There needn't be much rye in it for it to be called Canadian Rye Whiskey, and not everyone realises that. Why does that matter? Well, simply because it gives a bit of context to some of the comments about how this stacks up...

Great value for $. I remember when this & Old Overholt were about all on the shelf usually. It's a fine Rye without pretensions still, even in a world of MGP pretenders (of course I'm not saying that's a bad thing, just that the dominance of marketing BS is).

It peeves me that the mash bill and aging is kept secret. I like to know what I'm working with; therefore, although this is a pretty smooth and decent whiskey, I will not be purchasing another bottle.
