Booker's Bourbon Batch 2019-02 "Shiny Barrel Batch"

Bottle neat into Glencairn at home. Nose is gorgeous, with the alcohol fire tempered by vanilla, cognac, butterscotch, lite grains, apple, oak. Tons going on here. Taste is robust, with more oak and vanilla coming on, lingering heat, still getting the apple and vanilla. Finish goes on forever, and is really nice. Big fan. 6/8/19

Nose: ethanol right out of the bottle. After breathing a minute , wow dill like I’m sniffing a pickle jar. Charred oak and vanilla is hiding in the back. Leather and rubber later Palate: creamy oil, brown sugar, caramel Finish: long and hot, cinnamon, barrel spice, char
