I just picked up a bottle yesterday,paid retail price for it. I usually shy away from blended spirits, preferring a straight Bourbon or a single malt Scotch. When I read the blend of juice in this and the age statement of each I have to admit that I was hooked. My palate is not sophisticated enough to pick out all the notes described. I blame my other addiction very spicy food for this. I was able to get the heat and the “hug”. I did get the oak and cinnamon from the nose. It spoke to me and said ” come on in it’s warm and comfortable in here”. And so I did, and I’m not the least disappointed. I’m nearing the end of my “Shiny Barrel Batch” and was looking for another Booker’s to take it’s place. Freddie ya done good!
