Intro:
The first Booker's release of 2023, this is "Charlie's Batch." Aged for 7 years, 1 month and 8 days, it's released at 126.6 proof and can typically be found around the $100 mark.
-
Nose:
Oaky and dry on the nose with a pop of peanut, toffee, bold rich barrel char, salted caramel and espresso.
-
Taste:
Rich on the palate. Full of honey, toffee, peanut brittle, salted caramel. Rich and viscous, this whiskey delivers some of the stealthiest proof among the recent Booker's.
-
Finish:
Long finish, brimming with maple, barrel char, tobacco and sweet cream. This is a powerful pour, but the finish is super satisfying, especially for fans of pours with Booker's DNA.
-
Overall:
It's interesting to see how the profile of Booker's meanders each year. This release seems to harken back to the more savory, caramel- and brittle-rich profile of releases in past years and will no doubt be a hit for fans of high-proof Beam distillate
