Another solid entry into the Booker’s line. Initially sweet on the tongue (especially for a high proofer) with vanilla and raw sugar notes. Then fills in with cinnamon and pepper after a bit and then a trace of peanuts before a fairly mellow finish. Any lingering spice remains on the tongue. There is virtually no “Kentucky hug” down the throat at all. Might be a tad pricey, but certainly not sorry I bought it.
