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.

Ratings & Reviews
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.
Kyle,
I once bought this bottle a while back and it was a wonderful whiskey (my favorite rye so far actually). The flavor was exactly as described, it was smooth, complex, and all of the flavors were there, nothing was overwhelming. HOWEVER.... I recently ordered another bottle of the same minor case, which looks the same save for the letters being painted (a nice touch). For some reason it is much more rough this time and the oak is very overwhelming. The nose however is similar to last time. I'm not sure what happened or if it's just the bottle i got, but I didn't want to give it a bad rating because f how good it was the last time I bought it. Would still buy it again!
Robert,
Goes down smoothly. Easy drinking whiskey. My wife’s go to when my mother’s around.
