Tasting Notes

Nose

Rich caramel, charred oak, dried cherry. Twelve years have given this bourbon genuine maturity. Beneath the sweetness, vanilla, leather, a gentle nuttiness. The Beam house character — that distinctive peanut note — is refined into roasted walnut. Impressive.

Palate

Full-bodied and mature — dark caramel, dried fruit, a robust oak spice. The twelve years have added layers of complexity that the standard 9 Year Old cannot match. Mid-palate brings dark chocolate, cinnamon and a generous warmth. At 100 proof, excellent body.

Finish

Long, with mature oak and dark caramel sustaining satisfyingly.

Expert Review

8.2/10

Twelve years of Beam at 100 proof — the sweet spot in the Knob Creek range, with genuine depth and complexity.
