It's batched from 7 different Beam rack houses, and like all of the Booker's editions, it is uncut. Even the distiller's literature suggests serving it with ice or cut with water.

Tasting Notes

"The second you put your nose to it, you know it's serious bourbon - sweet corn, caramel, apples and leather. On the palate, the flavors fan out beautifully, with tart apricots, warm spice and even some peanut butter coming into the picture. There's also a pleasant mustiness, the kind seasoned, well rested bourbons tend to have. Seems like 7 years, 2 months and 16 days was exactly the right amount of time for a nap. Even at this super high proof, you hardly feel a burn, although a single ice cube makes it taste even better."
