Booker's Kentucky Straight Bourbon (62.7%)
(0.7l, 62.7%)
They say this is a sledgehammer Bourbon. It is. Bam!
Booker’s Bourbon is one of the small batch, cask strength (62.7% Vol.) Bourbons produced by the Jim Beam distillery.
Booker Noe (Jim Beam's grandson) originally bottled this straight-from-the-barrel bourbon as gifts to close friends and family, but eventually made it available to the general public. Each barrel of Booker's bourbon was hand-selected by Noe and was aged at the center of the rackhouse, where the company says that the temperature and humidity are the most favorable for fine Bourbons.

Bourbons are very high in vanilla, as American White Oak is naturally high in vanillins.
Tasting Notes
Appearance / Color
Smoky deep amber orange.
Smell / Nose / Aroma
Huge but soft. Vanilla, honey, molasses, orange, tropical fruits, black banana and spice. Meaty aroma and cedar.
Flavor / Taste / Palate
Massive and intense. Spicy, sweet - almost liqueur like and hot. Blackberry and burnt sugar. Oak, then dryness (tannin, tobacco).
Finish
Hot, long, spicy and intense. Almond, wood, corn, a touch of maple syrup, pepper.
Comment
While it is not necessary to cut the bourbon with water, a splash or two of distilled water is recommended (by Booker Noe) to unlock some of the flavor.

guest,
Great hard hitting bourbon. Enjoy sipping on a good bourbon like this when it’s mighty cold. Will definitely keep a bottle handy during winter. Although probably not year round.
Ivan,
One of my favorites
Sean,
Pure wonderful Kentucky!
Brandon,
Good taste but the alcohol is overpowering
Christina,
Currently have the Backyard BBQ iteration. Smooth, sweet and totally delicious. Can almost taste the ribs fresh from the smoker. Hard to believe it's nearly 130 proof. Highly recommend.
