Booker's Bourbon

Excellent. One of the most balanced whiskeys I’ve ever experienced.

Great high proof bourbon - not as hot as Stagg Jr. but every bit as complex. Drank half of the pour neat before discovering it was bottled ~61% abv and didn’t even notice. The nose is oak-y, with spice and vanilla coming forward first followed by a cherry aroma. The palate picks up a bit of spice, a lot of the oak and leather described and trails off into a rich tobacco finish that probably changes 2-3 more times before fading out. I’m intrigued by this one! Try it without water first but I do recommend a splash to spread the flavors/aromas out.

Mixed w water to get alcohol percentage down. Vanilla, Carmel, oak, spice, long finish.
