In the Glass: Dark, golden syrup.
On the Nose: Strong. This is fairly high proof stuff, so add some water. Corn sweetness, leather, orange peel and a touch of nondescript spice. Not terribly dissimilar from other well-made bourbons.
Taste: Thick and sweet. The orange peel and leather notes from the nose carry through here into the development. For me, the finish is really where the cask shows its stuff. Well integrated vanilla and a touch of oak.
This is some really good quality spirit that was well served by spending seven years in the cask. Very tasty neat, but this stuff seems made for an old fashioned. I haven't tried Booker's yet, but of the other small batch "Beams", this is my favorite.
