Here's the tasting notes from Fred Noe, seventh generation Beam family master Distiller: "When I was writing these tasting notes the weather was unseasonably cold which was earlier than normal. I really enjoyed the beautiful color of the batch that came from over seven years in the new white oak barrel. The nose is appealing and well balanced with vanilla notes that made me keep nosing the glass. I enjoyed the initial warm taste on the cold day then the finish was pleasant with sweetness lingering on the back of my throat. Dad would appreciate this batch of Booker’s named for one of his favorite cities to visit".
