- Excerpt: Powerful, savory, delightful - this release has a funk and a cocoa presence I've not gotten from Booker's in a long spell. It's interesting to say the least, and a funky, dessert pour to say the most.

- Excerpt: Though not flashing much heat, the finish still offers the length you'd expect at this proof, showcasing menthol, cloves, nutmeg and cinnamon, and tannic oak balanced out with vanilla bean.

Intro:
Distilled by Beam, aged for 6 years, 4 months and 21 days, and labeled as Granny's Batch, this is the first 2020 release of Booker's from Beam and company.
-
Nose:
Chocolate truffles, peanut butter cookie, toffee, cocoa, rich fudge and buttered popcorn.
-
Taste:
Rich mouthfeel, buttery, loaded with toffee, caramel and peanut butter cookies. Like a flaming nutter butter cookie with cocoa and some butterscotch. Powerful, the heat is in check, but it’ll sneak up on you.
-
Finish:
Long finish. The heat presents itself more here, pairing nicely with vanilla bean, cocoa, toffee, pralines and a long, peanut butter chocolate finish.
-
Overall:
Powerful, savory, delightful - this release has a funk and a cocoa presence I've not gotten from Booker's in a long spell. It's interesting to say the least, and a funky, dessert pour to say the most.
