Baker's Small Batch Bourbon
Bourbon — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed
November 7, 2016 (edited November 30, 2016)
Nose - Classic bourbon notes of vanilla and caramel, accentuated with hints of what seems like an oaky, barrel-aged, maraschino cocktail cherry.
Taste - Quite thin, cinnamon vanilla cherry sweetness, thin and light oaky brown sugar simple, very tiny hint of roasted peanuts on the back palate.
Finish - Lingering cinnamon spice tingle and warmth, slight medicinal cherry cough syrup sweetness, lightly bitter oak mixed with bitterness of peanut shells.
Score - 85/100
Final Thoughts - This had a lot thinner mouthfeel than I had anticipated for the proof and I definitely didn't get as much peanut funk as I have with my previous two beam product reviews (OGD Bonded & Beam White Label). This had a bit more complex notes of cherry that I quite enjoyed, but still doesn't have that "oompf" and burst of more complex flavors that I love from Booker's. Nevertheless, this is a tasty bourbon in its own regards, but I think for the price, I'll pay a bit more & reach for a bottle of Booker's.
