Conflict Notes
The reviewed bottle was non-age-stated. Current producer documentation supersedes it for the 9-year age claim.

Evidence Summary
Review confirms 100 proof, Beam production, and the reported 77/13/10 recipe. It evaluated the temporarily non-age-stated version just before the 9-year statement returned, so age and price details are historical context rather than current evidence.
Flavor Observations
Review finds bold caramel, oak, toasted sweetness and vanilla on the nose; a sweeter vanilla-led palate with peppercorn; and a long oak, rye-spice and leather finish.
