Old Tub Bottled in Bond Straight Kentucky Bourbon

Old Tub, according to those behind it, is being described by the James B. Beam Distilling Co. as a throwback expression celebrating “bourbon’s true, rustic character.” To this end, among other things, it is distilled without chill filtration just like the original Old Tub recipe, skipping the forcing of the “liquid through a dense filter to remove fatty acids” and resulting in the creation of a “bonded bourbon with a full-bodied authentic flavor.”

Official tasting notes for Old Tub suggest a bourbon that is “reminiscent of golden citrine gemstones with shades of honey and has initial waves of oak, followed by ribbons of vanilla and grain. Its robust oaky notes are complimented by hints of grain and warm caramel, with a full-bodied clean finish and lingering warmth.” best enjoyed neat or in classic cocktails  Distillery Notes 50% ABV
