Tasting Notes

About:

63.7% ABV, aged a minimum six years, three months in new charred oak, $70-75/bottle Color: rich, deep copper
Appearance:
Nose:
syrupy cooked dark fruit, berry pie filling. With water, caramel leaps to the front, along with vanilla and powdered sugar. Dusty wood is in the background.
Palate:
toasted grain on the front of the palate, followed by creme brulee, wood, and allspice. Burnt sugar on the finish, followed by wood. Sturdy, pleasantly sticky texture.
Finish:
Comments:
Like other Booker’s expressions, this is a really well-executed bourbon, with a nice whisper of grainy/nutty complexity rounding out an otherwise straightforward caramel-vanilla flavor profile. Booker’s completionists certainly won’t be disappointed with this release.rnrnOn the other hand, the price increase, even the relatively modest one implemented after the public revolted, still irks me. It’s a good bourbon; it’s not, in my book, a $75 bourbon.
