A strong 3.75. Nose is attpical Bookers as it does not have that Beam nuttiness. Nose is softer with more caramel notes than usual and almost bordering on fruity. Taste follows through from the nose with similar notes. Finish is the weakest part of the pour though some noce spiciness lingers it offers little warming or hug and disappates pretty quickly. Would characterize as a Bookers that non-Beam lovers may really enjoy and definitely worth a pixkup at MSRP.
