1st Bourbon of 2019 - Jim Beam

For my 1st purchase of 2019, I deviated from plan and picked up a 750 mL bottle of Jim Beam.  I wanted an entry level bourbon to help me compare and contrast with the Wild Turkey 101 and Jim Beam was a perfect choice.  It was sweet and smooth, but otherwise bland and this helped when switching to Wild Turkey to accentuate it's flavor profile. I like the price point of Jim Beam and it's otherwise a very palatable drink.  I probably will add another bottle every now and then, but want to make room for Wild Turkey 101 as my bourbon staple next to my scotch stables of Johnnie Walker Red and Black.
