Tasting Notes

About:

Appearance:
Nose:
Dusty wood is the first thing I notice, followed by a whiff of stewed apple and faint cinnamon. Cut down with water, it opens up to caramel and vanilla, and the dull wood note fades to the background.
Palate:


Finish:
Comments:
This release is fairly comparable to previous Booker’s bottlings: very big, bold, and mature. To my palate, it’s a hair too mature, as the woodiness on the back of the palate is pretty powerful. Nonetheless, if you’re a Booker’s fan, this has plenty of big caramel and vanilla, balanced out by some warm spice and juicy fruit notes.
