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

Spicy, a little Smokey, and full flavor.

big, rich, oily. Peanut/baking spice/Caramel/toffee/tobacco. Great from start to finish

Nose - toasted banana, powdered sugar, marshmallow, peanut, dusty corn, cherry, apple, milk chocolate, dulce de leche, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, sweet oak, brown sugar, moderate to high ethanol burn. Taste - apple, cherry, banana, cinnamon, leather, allspice, black pepper, peanut, sour oak, milk chocolate, caramel, brown sugar, vanilla, moderate to high alcohol bite, finishing medium short with peanut, banana, leather, and sour oak flavors. It’s been a while since I’ve had a Beam product. I missed that peanuty goodness. The nose is really nice. Something like a mix between bananas foster and funnel cake with baked cinnamon covered apples on top. The palate is solid but not quite as good. The peanut note is strong, with equally strong baking spices, chocolate and disappointingly, some sour oak flavors as well. Overall, this is good bourbon. If the flavors were more well integrated, it could be great bourbon. Poured next to my Beaten Biscuits batch, the nose is better on this one, but the palate is markedly inferior. The Beaten Biscuits’ profile is much thicker and less youthful. A big thank you to @ContemplativeFox for providing the generous sample!

Nose: very nutty PB&J Palate: Peanut and vanilla at the front, some salted caramel at the back Finish: dry, a bit salty, I get the cured ham a bit on an inhale A different vibe from the sweet pecan roll I get from Donohoe's. This batch is dynamite.
