Booker's Rye Whiskey Big Time Batch (2016 Release)

Nose: butter, baking spices, almost like a bourbon Palate: rye spice up front, fruit in the middle palate and straight oak afterwards Finish: dry oak, baking spices Best rye I’ve ever had. 10 on the t8ke

Amazing, damn near perfection

Wake up babe, your favorite Bookers batch just made love to Michter’s barrel strength rye for 13 years. If you find a better rye, no you didn’t.

As a lover of ryes and a lover of good ryes and a lover of good high proof ryes. This one checked all the damn boxes. Nose: amazing nose. Barrel spices, Carmel, vanilla and some oak. Palate: it’s so complex I can’t do it justice. You need a real pro for this one. It’s spicy with subtle sweet and note of oak. It’s outrageously grand. Finish: long long Kentucky hug. Sits in the middle of your chest and lingers. Coats the tongue. A friend and I went to front street in Wilmington NC. That bourbon bar is unbelievable. We had this there and I was sad when I was down to my last sip lol.

Citrus and heaven. I was skeptical of the hype. It deserves all the accolades.
