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.

Smoky deep amber orange.
Smell / Nose / Aroma
Huge but soft. Vanilla, honey, molasses, orange, tropical fruits, black banana and spice. Meaty aroma and cedar.

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.

Michael,
This will take some getting use to...
Martin,
This is very... ‘umami’-ish tasting. The meaty flavour that is introduced is very undefinable. Though I like the strong volume it isn’t a favorite.
David,
Love the punch and strong finish. Best sipped when the weather is cold!
Ian,
For Bourbon Lovers is how I would describe Bookers. The heritage of the private selection by Booker Noe is no joke, he clearly picked a spirit that embodied the best of what a Bourbon could be. Sweet but complex, easy to sip and perfect with a splash of cool water or your favorite rocks/ ice ball version of dilution. A staple of the high(er) shelf for many restaurants, and for good reason!
Joshua,
Thought it was sweet with a bite going down, makes you feel warm all over.
