The common practice when tasting whiskey (whisky) is to cut the spirit with water. In my opinion, these Bourbons were distilled to drink neat, thus water was not used to dilute any of the whiskeys.
Baker's / Kentucky Straight Bourbon / 7 Years Old / 107 Proof
Medium-tawny amber color; grainy/oatmeal aroma with floral and spice notes; creamy caramel flavors, smooth, vanilla accents; long finish with some heat. [Jim Beam Brands]
Booker's / Unfiltered Cask Strength Kentucky Straight Bourbon / 6-8 Years Old / 125.3 Proof
Deep, tawny amber color; deeply set vanilla, caramel and charred smoky oak aroma; woody flavors, some wood tannins over a pleasant and inviting honeyed flavor; long, powerful finish; not for the weak of heart or constitution. [Jim Beam Brands]
Elijah Craig / Kentucky Straight Bourbon / 12 Years Old / 94 Proof
Medium, nut brown color; spicy aroma, low-intensity, roasted nut and floral accents; creamy texture, nut and caramel notes; some bite in the finish. [Heaven Hill Distillers, Inc.]
Basil Hayden's / Kentucky Straight Bourbon / 80 Proof
Pale, golden amber color; delicate, brown sugar and honey aroma with roasted nut and spice accents; soft and smooth entry, brown sugar notes, spice and tea; medium-smooth finish. [Jim Beam Brands]
