Booker’s Bourbon Batch 2018-03 "Kentucky Chew"

This batch is made up of barrels stored in six locations within three different warehouses. The breakdown of the barrel locations is as follows:

 29% came from the 4th floor of 9-story warehouse D
42% came from the 6th floor of 9-story warehouse D
8% came from the 4th floor of 9-story warehouse I
8% came from the 7th floor of 9-story warehouse I
6% came from the 6th floor of 9-story warehouse J
2% came from the 7th floor of 9-story warehouse J
5% came from the 5th floor of 7-story warehouse N

 This batch being named “Kentucky Chew^™” is appropriate as it has the flavors my father would have chewed on for a good while, smiled and said, “We done good on this batch.” The nose is sweet with some hints of dried fruit, along with the vanilla that is characteristic of Booker’s^® Bourbon. As the bourbon aerates, some of the vanilla comes to the front inviting you to taste the bourbon in your glass. The taste is unmistakably Booker’s^® Bourbon with a robust profile that is intense at first, but finishes sweet and medium-bodied.
