I couldn’t disagree more with the distiller reviewer here. Describing this as smoky and fruity with no structure is extremely puzzling to me. I get the beam peanut brittle, chai tea spice, cinnamon, honey, and clove on there nose. The proof is definitely apparent but isnt distracting or overwhelming. The palate offers a kick of rye spice up front quickly followed by a sweetness of brown sugar and caramel to balance out the sip. The finish has hints of bananas foster, vanilla icing and creme brûlée. While I think there are some batches of bookers and KC 14-15 store picks that are marginally better than this, an 81 ranking is way off and the description of smokiness and floral notes perplex me even further. There is some rye spice in here but I just don’t even come close to those notes here. I’d love for another reviewer to restate this as I believe it is a quality offering and worth $89-99 if you enjoy bakers/bookers beam in general
