Booker's 2020-03 “Pigskin Batch” Kentucky Straight, 63.65%
Price: ● Issue: Summer 2021 ● Reviewer: David Fleming ● Category: Bourbon/Tennessee Whiskey
Roasted herbs, peanuts, and fragrant oak start things off on the nose, followed by notes of dried cherries, cornbread, vanilla frosting, and blueberry pie. A chewy palate offers honeyed almonds, cherry pie, and allspice. Water unlocks dark chocolate, more cherry pie, cinnamon spice, and tobacco leaf. A long spiced finish shows lively herbs, cinnamon sugar, and strawberry jam. Water is highly recommended—it takes this already superb whiskey to even greater heights.
