Jim Beam Harvest Collection Six Row Barley

A toasty nose with bright citrus spice and oaky vanilla; you can feel the heat. Clearly Beam but just as clearly different; there’s a flat spread to this and a dry pull on the tongue and in the finish. Six-row barley has more husk to it which can add tannins to beer; is there enough here to make a difference? It’s an interesting character but it’s not all good. Price is per 375 ml.
