Fresh crack impression was full of caramels and vanilla on the nose with a touch of ethanol. Palate was less nutty and stereotypically Beam than some releases, but was also a return to more typical Bookers from the epic turd of Apprentice. Finish was thick and lasted commensurate with the proof. Its a buy IMO if you find it at $85 or less. Pass if above that line; that’ll be a tough task but that’s where I’m at with the brand line.
