Speakeasy Bourbon Club Review: Old Tub by Jim Beam
from Birdies & Bourbon · host Birdies & Bourbon
Old Tub is a re-release by Jim Beam. They nailed the appearance on this one with the vintage label. This non-chill filtered, 4 year old bourbon hits all points for me. At 100 proof, it's not punchy on the nose and I pick up the typically Beam nuttiness, with some mint, caramel and hay. I get a bit of a mash smell on the nose too.....aromatic and balanced. To taste, I get a peppery, tobacco mouth coat but not overly strong on the alcohol. I definitely get some oak here too. The finish is long for me and reminds me of Cracker Jacks with peanut and toffee and subtle fruits, with a dash of pepper. For around $20 most everyone should give this a try and could easily become your daily sipper.
