Tasting Notes
Booker's True Barrel Bourbon (Batch 2022-02), aptly named the 'Lumberyard Batch', beckons with its robust character and uncompromising flavor profile. Pouring a deep amber hue, the aroma tantalizes with swirls of rich caramel intertwined with hints of spiced apple crumble and a luscious note of chocolate-coated orange peel. Upon the first sip, a warmth embraces the palate, unveiling layers of indulgent pecan pastries, lush maple syrup, creamy corn, and a delightful stickiness reminiscent of malt loaf, all underscored by a peppery spice that gradually builds in intensity. As the finish lingers, the spice takes center stage, with dark caramel notes leaving a lasting impression. Boasting a robust cask strength of 62.4% and a mash bill comprising 77% corn, 13% rye, and 10% barley, this bourbon strikes a harmonious balance between heat and flavor, delivering a full-bodied, unapologetically bold experience that whiskey enthusiasts have come to expect from the Booker's True Barrel range.
