Batch No C07-A-12 Classification: Kentucky Straight Bourbon Proof: 130.6 (65.3%) Age: 7 Years Mashbill: Corn 77%, Rye 13%, Malted Barley 10% Distillery: Jim Beam Distillery, Clermont, KY Price: $70 - $90 Color: Medium Amber Nose: Strong alcohol, oak, nutty Palate: Pleasantly sweet, leather, oak vanilla Finish: Long, velvety, oak, leather, warm Personal Rating: 9.5/10 Notes: Booker’s is probably in my top three favorite bourbons. The price tag can sometimes seem a little steep, but in my opinion it is worth it. For me, I describe the flavor as very “masculine,” which I am partial to with my bourbons. Due to the high proof, I recommend enjoying this on the rocks or with a splash of water to open up the palate...but of course you know I’ll be drinking it neat. What can I say? I love the Kentucky hug
