Picture warm Kentucky bourbon getting a hug from a jar of real honey. That's the whole vibe. It's sweet and golden and goes down so smooth you'll forget there's bourbon under there, until that gentle oaky warmth shows up to say hi. This is your gateway pour if neat whisky usually bites too hard, and a lazy crowd-pleaser when the nyama choma's done and nobody wants to think too hard about their drink.
Honey runs the show. You smell it first, all golden and floral, with vanilla and a whiff of caramel right behind. The sip is thick and silky: sweet honey up top, then the bourbon underneath brings vanilla, soft caramel and a touch of charred oak. The finish is warm and rounded, more cosy than fiery, with that honeyed sweetness lingering. At 35% it's mellow, so the burn never really kicks you.
The details
Pairs well with
Where it's from
This comes from Clermont, Kentucky, home of the Beam family, who've been making bourbon there since Jacob Beam sold his first barrel back in 1795. Seven generations later, they took their classic Kentucky straight bourbon, corn, rye and malted barley aged in new charred American oak, and slowly infused it with real golden honey. Fun technicality: once the honey goes in, the proof drops below the line for calling it whiskey, so it's officially a liqueur. Tastes better than the paperwork sounds.
