Booker's Bourbon Batch 2018-01 Kathleen's Batch
Bourbon — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed
April 27, 2019 (edited May 10, 2019)
63.7% abv
Uncut and Non chill-filtered
Aged 6 years, 3 months and 14 days
Nose: strong vanilla; dark char; rye and clove spice; cherry/cherry cola; alcohol from the high Proof. All in all, delish.
Taste: medium body, viscous and full flavor! Vanilla and dark brown sugar and caramel; slight mint; cherry; rye spice
Finish: long and rewarding. Peppery spice, vanilla, hints of mint, peanut, toasted marshmallow, oaky barrel char and a delicious caramel toffee at the very end.
Value: $60-75. Worth it.
Final thoughts: I’ve never been disappointed by a Booker’s batch, but this one is a hair above the average and the best of the 2018 batches. Grab this or any Booker’s without hesitation and use water liberally to tame the burn, open up the flavors, and enjoy the ride.
Score: 4.5/5
Highly recommend buying a bottle

@dubz480 cheers!
Agreed. Great Booker's Batch. This and Kentucky Chew knocked it out of the park from the 2018 releases. With all the new BP options, Booker's still stands up strong! Cheers!
