Booker's Bourbon Batch 2022-01 "Ronnie's Batch"

This Booker's batch is sweet & rich while wanting to turn tart on you. Tempered with only ⅓ tsp water. Smells like sweet corn, vanilla, nuttiness. Tastes of dark toffee, toasted coconut, faint peanuts, progressing to dried dark fruit sweet-sourness. Finishing a tad long with peppery oak and apple skins. This is one for the ages.

NOSE Oak, brown sugar, vanilla, roasted nuts, Bananas Foster, some coppery dried dark fruit, and a tad yeasty. This is closer to Booker’s batches from a few years back, heavy on the oak. PALATE Oak, complex dried dark fruit, brown sugar, fresh biscuits, roasted nuts, and some baking spice and copper. Warm and rich, this is what I’ve been missing from Booker’s. FINISH Long -> Oak, dried dark fruit, brown sugar, fruit.
