Booker's 2016-06 No Hard Times
127.8 Proof
6 Years 10 Months
Small Batch Bourbon
Jim Beam
Nose
Syrupy with a little bite and nose hair singe, with woody notes similar to Knob Creek and a leather note. Nutty with caramel and a dusting of chocolate powder on the nose.
Palate
Dry and tannic with a lot of oak, suggesting older barrels in the blend. The second sip shows more intensity.
Overall Score
3 / 5
A drier, oak-forward Booker's release with aged character that reads as less immediately rewarding than other expressions in the tasting.
