Booker's Bourbon Batch 2020-01 "Granny's Batch"

Peanuts on the nose. Peanuts, cinnamon, sweet. Mild heat with a medium finish

Reeses Pieces all day on the nose. Doesn’t fall off too much from that after the initial sip. I love me some Booker’s!! The more I buy these the more I can appreciate the nuances present while still maintains that big, rich, flavor profile Booker’s is known for. Simply awesome stuff!

Best batch I've had in some time. Better than any 2019 release, maybe better than any 2018 or comparable to "Kitchen Table," which was my favorite that year The 2020-01 "Granny's Batch" smells of warm peanut brittle, brown sugar, and fried apple fritters. A wide complexity of flavors comes through with old-fashioned cinnamon donut, peanut brittle, caramel, vanilla and candied orange spread through a medium-long finish.

This has opened up a bit and not so bitter and harsh now, still not great but definitely get more sweet notes along with a strong peanut profile. Kinda peanut brittle like the Distiller review said.

Previous reviews have been right on the money with the descriptions of earthy, grassy notes wafting from my Norlan glass. Although I appreciate the complexity, it’s not what I enjoy in a nose. With that said, Granny’s Batch redeems itself on the palate and more so on the finish. The earthy notes continue on the palate with caramel and cinnamon flavors taking over on the back end. The finish is incredibly long as you would expect a 126 proof bourbon to be. This is much in line with what other expressions of Booker’s have brought over the last couple of years. I must say that the Booker’s line is my favorite across the board, however this one has to be my least favorite so far.
