Booker's Bourbon Batch 2019-03 "Country Ham"

Knocked out of the park, best bourbon I’ve had to date. I want to savor this. Hopefully more Booker’s follows suit

I have had this one for a bit and just realized I never added a review so let's correct that oversight! Booker's certainly has curb appeal in the wooden box with clear facing. The wax and seal add a little flare, but it is what is inside that counts so let's go. Nose is nice with a maple syrup backbone and brown sugar highlights. First sip packs a punch declaring its 120+ proof with a heavy cinnamon heat. Brown sugar and vanilla seep out of the edges of the heat and maybe a touch of pecan pie peeks through. Let me say this dram is not for the faint of heart. It packs a punch and I wouldn't call you out for adding a bit of ice. Overall this one is flavor and fire packed!

Bottle has been open now since 10-15-2019 making it 7+ months. I understand the rye notes now but still has a unpleasant alchohol burn to my palate. Rateing will stay the same and will not be buying againg. Bottle states 6 years ,4 months old. Much to young and to much alchohol burn to be enjoyable to my palate at this time. ECBP blows this away by a huge margin along wit Old Forester 1910 and 1920
