Alcohol, peanuts, prunes and a slight grassiness on the nose. Palate starts with that Jim Beam peanut brittle with the Bookers proof providing heat and spice, fading to tobacco. Somewhat short finish ends with a bitter note which really takes away from this bourbon. The price of Bookers continues to climb through the roof while the product has seemed to be phoned in over the last couple of years. Good, not great.
