Being a bourbon enthusiast, i completely agree what’s in the bottle is way more important than what’s on the outside…that said, the bourbon is surprisingly smooth. Oak and Cherry hit me first, but pepper, vanilla, and chocolate? is in there for sure. I’d say it might be single malt, but i know that Beam mixes for consistency. Not alot of the burn of a comparably priced bourbon. A good buy at $20-22. Way better than regular Jim or JD. Almost dead even with Gentlemen Jack, perhaps a bit better. Not as smooth as JD single barrel or yeah Maker’s Mark in the 30-40 Range, but a damn good buy. Great finish! A- 93 of possible 100 -J.S. N.O.

I've had Booker Bourbon once and it's very good, but nowhere near good enough to justify a $45 to 50 price tag, especially when you can get Russell's Reserve (from Wild Turkey) for $19 to 23--a price that makes it easily my favorite bourbon. If this new offering at a similar price point from Beam is any good I'll purchase it on a regular basis. At $21 I’ll have to give this one a try.

I wonder how widely it is available? Never heard of this, but now I might have to go get some. I wonder how widely it is available?
