The usual complex Booker's nose which includes vanilla, leather/oak combo, but a slightly less alcohol burn & more cinnamon than other batches. I concur with the distiller's notes of "sweet brown wood sugar " mouth flavor as it is a great description. Less peanut nose & taste than my normal Booker's experience. Creamy mouthfeel. To me, this batch is defined by the accomplishment that is the finish. Most notably, the whiskey swims down the esophagus in a welcoming way without the alcohol heat quickly ramping up in my mouth, throat, and chest immediately after the swallow like previous batches. Finish has an immediate spice pop, with baking spices dominating & peanut does come through as it lingers. Baking spices (cinnamon) present still after one minute. Due to the smooth finish, you will likely find yourself pouring from this bottle for another dram during your session. I have poured more drams than I normally do for a high-proofer on this one out of sheer enjoyment. Well done in my book.
Note: This is my 1st published whiskey review & I only did so as I cannot find any reviews at all on the internet for this bottle that I purchased today 6/9/21. I have quite a whiskey collection and taste often, and most importantly, I published this to help you all with your purchasing decisions. I hope I was helpful. This is a Buy!
