Beam Distilling Co., the High expression changes only the first-distillation setting while keeping the same mash bill and fermentation as the Low and Middle bottlings. After eight years of aging and bottling at 54.5% ABV (109 proof), it takes a brighter flavor direction — orchard fruit, apple, citrus, floral honey, and wood spice — an engaging contrast to the Low's darker richness and the Middle's rounded vanilla and toffee.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Orchard fruit, fresh apple, and floral honey.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bright apple and citrus notes with light honey sweetness.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Delicate wood spice and a lighter fruit impression.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eProducer: James B.
