Booker's 2021-02 “Tagalong Batch” Kentucky Straight, 63.95%
Price: $90 ● Issue: Winter 2021 ● Reviewer: David Fleming
The fifth edition of distiller Freddie Noe's signature annual release. This is a weighty one, in classic Booker's fashion—rich, full, and powerful, loaded with chocolate, cocoa powder, candied orange slices, dark chocolate, melted caramel, and cinnamon spice. Water quells the flavor riot, softening to notes of vanilla and vanilla malt, chocolate candy bar, and leather. The finish is spicy, with more chocolate and orange. There's nothing shy about this tasty sipper.
