Booker's 30th Anniversary Bourbon

Bourbon — Kentucky, USA

Reviewed November 21, 2019 (edited November 27, 2019)
4.75
4.75 out of 5 stars
A generous sample from dthom as part of the "whiskey transfer program". Very excited to try this as I really like Booker's and Little Book. Nose: Very complex. Right away I'm hit with caramel apples but there is a vanilla malty undertone almost like I'd expect from an Irish Whiskey. Some funk in here too that reminds me of tropical fruit changing that initial apple in to more of a mango. As it sits in the glass I start to get the signature Beam roasted peanuts with honey and dried figs. Flavor: Caramel cream, boiled peanuts, vanilla, dark sugars, crème brulee. Wow this is good! Thick mouth feel and punches way under its weight for the proof. Finish: Very long. Starts off nutty and then quickly turns sweet/spicy and gets oaky but not very drying. As it sits the spice fades in to a pleasant black pepper note with more toasted nuts and toasted coconut. This stuff is delicious! I could see paying MSRP of $200 for it but the secondary over $600 I'd have a hard time doing. Definitely the best Booker's I've tasted and it should be. Extra points for the cool packaging with the box being reclaimed wood from a rickhouse floor described as "reclaimed wood that Booker Noe once walked on."
