Booker's The Beam House Batch

Nose

nuttiness, peanuts, vanilla, dust/must, cedar shavings. Cinnamon astringency, sort of like wood varnish…in a good way. Pretty classic beam notes. Smells like funky, skunky, roasted peanut shells.

Palate

oak, baking spices, brown sugar, barrel char, quite a bit of heat, cinnamon red hots, butterscotch sweetness

Finish

medium finish, pepper, dry roasted nuts. Heat builds on the back of the tongue and creeps blissfully down the throat and dissipates quickly in the chest. Decent Kentucky hug.

Verdict

A respectable batch and solid representation of the Booker's profile — classic Beam funk and peanut, plenty of heat, and a fair price for uncut/unfiltered bourbon if you find it.
