Drinking this neat, neck pour. This is my first Bookers “tasting” experience. The batch is the “Boston’s Batch” named after the hometown where Booker got his start. Subtext seems like this is a bourbon getting back to its roots or simply a tribute. Well, let’s get into it.
Peanuts!!! Tons of vanilla, kinda reminds me of a Reese’s cup. Slight amount of oak with dark fruits/cherries. Get a bit of frosting to here.. and now I want cake. Very fun nose on this one. I feel like I could spend hours picking this one apart.
Continuation of peanuts on the pallet wrapped in salted caramel with a touch more of oakiness. Damn this has a nice warming effect. Perfect amount heat for me. I want to say this has that burnt marshmallow it’s what I’m getting underneath the nuttiness.
This pour is great. A bit of toasted malts on finish. On the bitter side.
I think Bookers just gained a new fan. Excited to see how the third release will compare! Cheers everyone.
