It is absolutely perfect for crisp autumn days.

Old Tub Kentucky Straight Bourbon
$48.99
Old Tub is a Bonded Bourbon made by Jim Beam Distillery of Clermont, Kentucky. The name Old Tub actually comes from the pre-prohibition name of Jim Beam Distillery itself. No mention is made as to which mash bill is used for this, but given the history of the name, it is likely the regular Jim Beam Bourbon mash bill of 75% Corn, 13% Rye, 12% Barley. What sets it apart is the 50% ABV and that it is said to be Unfiltered, "for more robust flavor".
This is apparently a limited release from Jim Beam - but maybe they have enough stock to change their mind on that? Only time will tell...
The term "Bonded" or "Bottled in Bond" means that this whiskey had to adhere to the following standards as originally written into law by the Bottled-in-Bond Act of 1897:
