Booker's 2015-01 “Big Man, Small Batch,” 64.35%

Price: 55 Issue: Summer 2015 Reviewer: John Hansell Category: Bourbon/Tennessee Whiskey

The first in a series of limited edition releases for 2015. Not as rich, thick, sweet, or deep as last year's classic 25th Anniversary bottling. This one's lighter, drier, and with more spice. Cinnamon, mint, nutmeg, licorice root, citrus, and subtle botanical notes, all wrapped up in caramel and vanilla. Dry, pleasant finish. If the 25th Anniversary bottling was an ideal digestif, this one is more suitable as an aperitif.
