Tastes

Fruits and pepper on the nose, the palate consists of cherry spices with maybe a hint of butterscotch finish. Not the most complex but it doesn’t break the bank - easy drinker

N - Dark brown sugar, slight hint of spice P - Apple, baking spice, mellow and sweet F - Smooth and sweet, easy to drink neat. The Apple finish is definitely there. It’s quite good, probably my top 3 rye but doesn’t hold a candle to Booker’s Rye in my opinion. Worth the shot if you can try it

Read Fetness’ comment below - it’s spot on for my judgement. Pretty complex rye, lots of spice and subtle heat. Worth the pour!

Sweet, smooth and slightly nutty

Sweet nose, smooth and no burn. Light dill, good for the price of pour

Rich, surprisingly smoky, smooth with sweet hints of dark chocolate

Oak on the nose with baking spices. Smooth with a nice mixture of sweet up front and then spices. It’s good but I’m not sure I understand the secondary price hype over it

N - dark chocolate, floral P - baking spices with chocolate notes, really opens up with a drop or two of water F - smooth and sweet, light bit of heat going down Very nice

N - Sweet and floral, small hint of spice P - Sweet up front followed by a trail of spices and low heat. Caramel, dark chocolate F - Sweet trail with a nice smooth finish, cinnamon?

N - Had to go deep to get a good nose, dark chocolate and caramel, rich candied with spice linger P - Sweet and floral up front with an incredible chocolate finish. Very unique. F - Chocolate! Incredibly smooth, juicy finish Floral, sweet and chocolatey vibes. Like I say in other rare Booker’s reviews - never pass it up given the opportunity.
