Taste: Neat in glen cairn, 2 oz. pour. Binny's Pick, 120 proof barreled on 10/14/04, bottled on 9/4/18. Warehouse W-L floor 5. Nose: (4.0) Deep nose with ethanol let's you know this bourbon isn't playing. Once it dissipates some I get apple pie crust, caramel, french vanilla. The nose is much like some of the Booker's I have had, and I love those. Bluegrass immediately came to mind. Taste (4.5): It is rich with a creamy texture. This is on the sweeter side but has sime punch. I describe it as a boozy apple pie ala mode drizzled with caramel, then sprinkled with the familiar Beam peanutty flavor. Finish (4.25) I am digging it, but want more of it. Deep oak, smoke, butterscotch. Only complaint is that it is gone to quick. Overall: This is an example of Jim Beam product at its finest. It proves that to be really good it doesnt need to be really expensive. At 39.99 I would drink this over most bourbons 3x the cost.
