Booker's Bourbon Batch 2018-01 Kathleen's Batch

Introduced to Booker’s when my sister got me a bottle of the Blue Knights Batch for my birthday. Instant fan. When I saw this batch, Kathleen’s, I had to try it. I always try neat at first, and this baby packs a punch, as I have learned Booker’s is notorious for as it is uncut and cask strength. Added a few small pieces of crushed ice, swirled, and tasted again. Sweet, oak in the beginning then brown sugar/molasses as it trails off. This punches hard in an amazing way. I went to multiple locations to get more before it disappears, sold out everywhere. Finally found a place with 2 more and one Blue Knight left, so I grabbed all three. $69.99 is standard price in the Chicago suburbs

Found this for $50.00 in the costco in vista, ca! Definately going to get a few more bottles. I'm still new at figuring out the notes of what I drink and normally can't tell what they are but I found mostly brown sugar and caramel on the nose. Still working out the rest but it had a nice long finish that lingers in your mouth because of the slightly syrupy texture. In my opinion the texture is perfectly balanced. I prefer it neat.

Solid. On the rocks for me.
