Brewery draught, 11/8/25, as pictured.
Wow that's a lot of Jim Beam! In a good way, not tannic or sharp. Some mulling spice, fruity apple and soft vanilla with moderate caramel-like malt to balance. Spicy oak on the very end keeps it dry. No alcohol noted, not too much actual spice.
Dry with a bready, crusty, crackery malt texture and woody-oaky tannins. Low actual whiskey flavor and very tasteful spicing, but I think it's just a bit too dry and the body a tad too light for all that it has going on. Still, it's nice to see both the barrel and adjunct done tastefully, do I gotta give it a lot of props for that.
