Booker's Bourbon Batch 2022-04 "Pinkie's Batch"

Aroma - massive dark fruits (raisins/dates?).. cinnamon/red hot candies. Picking up a green tea/herbal spice. Along with vanilla frosting, cloves, oak and caramel. Very intriguing nose. Taste - Caramel, oak, vanilla and slightly nutty. Finish is picking up some tobacco leaf and leather. Getting an alcohol-soaked dark fruits note as well. Overall. - Extremely long finish.. and it just keeps developing. The finish outstanding and quite possibly the best aspect for this bourbon. 4.7

Not as much depth as some other batches or other barrel proof bourbons. Still a solid pour tho with notes of clove anc cinnamon.

In so many ways this is your standard Booker’s offering.. Full of peanuts and baking spices. But… The end of the palate is so good! It keeps me coming back! I get fall weather old fashioned root beer with the finish! The flavors definitely lingers!!!

NOSE Dried dark fruit, biscuity, oaky, vanilla taffy, and caramel with bits of herbal and roasted peanut notes. Not bad, it’s not quite the heavy oak bomb we’ve gotten used to in the 2022 run, but still quite nice. PALATE Caramel, dried cocoa, oak, vanilla frosting, baking spice, biscuity, black licorice, and some candied peanuts. Like the aroma, it’s pretty nice, but no oak monster. FINISH Long -> Peanuts, dried dark fruit, brown sugar, and some oaky vanilla.
