Old school Rye Whiskey with a Sherry twist
In 1795, America still had its first president, the O.G. Washington, and there were only fifteen states in the Union. That’s also when Jacob Beam sold his first barrels of corn Whiskey, which wasn’t even called Bourbon yet – not for decades. He concocted his Old Hake Beam not far away from where Limestone Branch distillery stands today. One of Jake’s descendants had an incredibly cool name: Minor Case Beam, and this Rye expression is dedicated to him – an innovative distiller who had to give everything up when Prohibition came.
Today, Minor’s great-grandsons, Steve and Paul Beam, continue the family’s long tradition. They wanted to create a fine and soft Rye Whiskey Minor Case Beam would’ve made if there were no Prohibition. This two-year-old Rye was finished in cream Sherry casks for eight months and it successfully balances sweet fruitiness, warm spices and oak. Don’t let its age fool you, either: Minor Case Rye is a masterpiece in a lovely old school bottle, and wonderfully complex. Raise the glass to not living during the Prohibition.

Bourbon set of rules refer to manufacturing method rather than location. It must be matured in new and charred casks of American white oak. No colouring or flavoring of any type is allowed. It must be matured for at least 2 years, if a bottle does not bear an age it is at least 4 years old. The mash bill must contain at least 51% corn.

Ratings & Reviews
John,
Needs to be blended into a cocktail. Not strong enough to be near.
Kent,
Expected more. A bit harsh. Not fond of the flavor profile. Glad to be done with the bottle.
Emily,
A really nice rye for the price. Sherry cask finish adds a pleasant touch. Makes a great tasting cocktail. Completely underrated in the rye world.
Spencer,
Really excellent combination that comes from the rye and sherry casks--spicy and a rich, creamy, undertone. I found the combination sours as it lingers on the palate, to the point that the finish almost feels like cough syrup (which sounds worse than I mean it), but I still love it on the whole.
David,
This is my favorite rye...I like it better than Whistle Pig and other trendy ryes. Love the sherry finish, you can really taste the sherry and cherry-like sweetness, along with caramel. But has just enough bite.
