When I saw this on the shelf I knew I had to order a pour. I remembered having Bookers on my wish list to sample, but it was just Bookers in general, any bookers I could get a taste of before investing in a whole bottle. When I ordered this I was told I had made an excellent choice. This is reportedly a rarer bottle and I am sure I will never find it again once it has seen its last pour at the place I found it at, Suerly I will not find this on a self at a liquor store so I feel honored to have had the chance to try it at all. From what I have read it is not a perfect example of Bookers all around so I will still have to explore this line further before investing in a full bottle - oh dram. Alas lets get to the notes... Nose: Unlike other tastings on here I did not find it to be a ton of alcohol in the nose, yes the aroma was present but it was not nose hair burning. Vanilla, cream, caramel, almond, coconut and orange peel. Some spice - baking spice, perhaps nutmeg. Flavor: Low alcohol burn but very creamy but look out - that burn that was not so prevalent sneaks up from behind and will get ya! The "burn" comes from notes of cinnamon and black pepper. Also it has the vanilla and creamy flavors along with it. Then a smokiness sneaks in on the back end. Even with that shocking sneaky kick of spice the flavor remains decedent of cream and sweetness. Added 1 small cube of ice and it still had the exact same profile. Overall a very nice sampling of Booker's and I do feel lucky to have got to try this one but more investigation into this brand is needed for me to decide if I am a fan of the more available bottles. Ratings have nothing to do with cost - just my impressions.
