Taste: Binny's Barrel pick #1808591, 4 years old, 1.5 oz neat in Glen Cairn. NOSE: (3.25) A bit light on the nose. Vanilla and caramel corn are dominant but not much else. The nose is good but there is not enough there to really draw me in. PALATE: (3.75) Palate is good. Definately above average. There is pastry with a sort of vanilla cream filling. Best way to describe is like a boston cream donut without the chocolate topping. There is some peaches in the background, and a bit of cherry pie on the back palate. Really nicely done for a younger straight bourbon. FINISH (3.75): The oak kicks up a notch on the finish. A bit of pepper and vanilla carry on. The finish for a 93 proof whiskey is pretty darn good OVERALL: This is one that really surprised me, and to the positive side. There are plenty of good flavors on the palate and nose. There is a youngness to it, but not that oily creamed corn taste that some new bourbons have. More of a popcorn ball. The flavors really play well together. I think if this was at a higher proof (100 maybe) and was in the oak longer it would go from above average to being a knockout. I did shy away from the higher proof, older limited release because of price BUT that may have just been what I am after. And there is the rub.....this was a well picked 4 yr old for 39.00 which is right on the money for what it is. The limited release however brings you into competition with the big boys, and for that I am really expecting alot. Big price to pay to take a chance on a sourced whiskey with not alot of time in the market. For this one though, Binny's really picked a nice barrel to introduce a newer brand in their store, kudos to them. Limestone Distillery will definately be one to watch. Steve Beam is definately no slouch in the game and the lineage and know how is showcased here. This bottle was an excellent bang for the buck, and I wouldn't shy away from buying this one
