Tasting Notes

Nose

Cinnamon rolls, peanut butter fudge, rich caramel, toasted oak, vanilla, tobacco, leather, nutmeg — intense and inviting

Palate

Upfront wood sugars, vanilla, raisin, then aged oak, light leather — peanut brittle, dark chocolate, brown sugar — intensely oaky, almost tannic, surprisingly sippable despite the proof

Finish

Long and lingering — the initial flavour burst fading to light vanilla and fresh wood, the cask strength delivering a warmth that defines the category

Expert Review

8.5/10

Booker Noe — Jim Beam's grandson and master distiller — kept the best barrels from the centre of the rickhouse for himself, family, and friends. Eventually bottled commercially. Each release is a named batch. Aged 6-8 years, bottled uncut and unfiltered at cask strength, typically 60-65% ABV. The benchmark cask-strength bourbon and gateway to barrel-proof whiskey.
