Finally broke the seal and tried this last night on the rocks with a lone 2005 gurkha legend I had rolling around the bottom of my humidor. Both were fantastic.
I'm not a big fan of Beam White Label (its ok for mixing with coke), I do however like the Black Label. This is better. Dryer, Spicier with a longer finish. I noticed the taste of walnuts and cinnamon and a bunch of other flavors with every sip.
Definitely a winner for the Christmas holidays.
