Roasted nutty and baking caramel nose with a bunrt red apple, caramel, sweet vanilla, and light brown sugar taste. Long charred red apple and raw vanilla barrel finish. I guess after drinking whiskey/whisky as long as I have, it makes amazing products look bot as impressive while still being impressive. This is a good bourbon. I have had better Booker's products, though. Can't wait to try 2024 batches.
