Booker's Bourbon

This bourbon is the one your daddy should have warned you off. Tight crisp punch to your gut. Some spice passed by quickly as the gasp of fire leaves and the smooth finish arrives.

Along with the rest of the Small Batch Collection, this is a VERY sharp, though delicious bourbon. I didn't try it with water, so my opinion isn't full fledged. Bourbon lovers who want to challenge themselves from their usual drams should go for this, or Bakers while you're at it.

I have mentioned in a couple of my notes that I am a single malt scotch man all the way. And I'll also point out that I don't just lean towards the Islay scotches, I live in a peat bog vicariously through them. I tend not to like bourbon because it tends to be too sweet for me, but Booker's is actually pleasant to drink because of its relatively heavy smokiness and very light sweetness. I'm having a hard time deciding if I like this better than Bulleit because I tried them so far apart, but I suspect that Booker's will take the win thanks to the smoke, which I don't remember being so prominent in Bulleit.
