Tastes

Some butterscotch on the palate, some ethanol burn on the nose but very easy to drink.

Very heavy leather taste. Smooth to drink but for me the leather is quite powerful and the tobacco nose is also pretty forward. Happy to be able to experience this but I wouldn’t go to extensive depths to track this down again.

Flavor is quite rich, a little strong on the tongue a first but a very drinkable bottle for whatever your desired drink style may be.

This Bookers was my first to have tasted. I haven’t had much experience with anything over 107 proof, so this being 126 was a new experience for me. The heat wasn’t as harsh as I expected when sipped neat. As far as taste goes the two big things that I noticed is an up front earthy almost grass like flavor that was soon followed by long lasting oak barrel. A nice addition to have around but I don’t feel I will reach for this quite as often as other bottles.
