Booker's Bourbon

Named after Jim Beam's grandson, Booker Noe, this bourbon is one hell of a tribute. Don't let the proof scare you; this bourbon is nothing but a pleasure to drink and is a perfect choice for the holiday season. Below are my tasting notes. Enjoy! Nose: Hints of oak, vanilla, marzipan, molasses, rye, pepper, citrus, and pecan. Palate: Extremely potent; lots of spicey goodness that features pepper and rye. Citrus notes make another appearance as well as charred oak. Finish: Just as intense as the nose and palate. Rye and pepper notes strongly linger and fade into flavors of brisket, vinegar, pecans, and baking soda.

At full strength, Mellow smooth corn, charred, oily, burn around the perimeter of the tongue, herbal and almost bitter at back of tongue. If trying straight, be careful not to burn your palette. With about half teaspoon, flavours show up on the mid pallate. woody, fruity, sour note on middle to back of the tongue. Cocktail appropriate. After breathing, honey, strong salted caramel, maple sugar, wlanut, and cigar aromas, mellower. Slight roasted peach.

Reminds me of Bakers. A bit stronger but still drinkable, especially if you want a kick!!
