Booker's Bourbon Batch 2020-03 "Pigskin Batch"

Tasted in a Glencairn spirits nosing glass. Aroma - Neat - Cherry, lightly ashy, some typical Speyside scotch notes, very woody and resinous. Adding a teaspoon of water. . . Cocoa nibs, Wood sap, a certain metallic quality, rock quarry Taste - Neat - Quite hot as to be expected being at true barrel strength. Extremely rich vanilla Custard and Sophisticated wood. Adding a teaspoon of water . . . Buttery, Cherry. Final thoughts - While this is a quite tasty Bourbon, I find it to be a bit lacking in its complexity for being full cask strength. The notes it has, it delivers on very powerfully, but those flavors are also typical and expected.

Nose is honey vanilla oak. Pallet is nuts, caramel, vanilla

Salty fruity with a spicy finish
