Nose
Darker and caramel-forward with roasted and candied peanut character. Fresh, lightly minty lift with citrus undertones. Roasted peanut notes with honey-sugar crystalline quality.
Palate
Back-loaded with cinnamon spice, mild citrus, and nuttiness. Licorice notes present on the descent. Nice mid-palate texture with a slightly softer attack than the 2016.
Finish
Pleasant but relatively quick, exiting faster than some other expressions. Peanut shell character lingers briefly.
Pleasant
A well-crafted and balanced Booker's with distinctive caramel-nut character and fresh aromatics that delivers reliable quality at a fair price, though the finish is shorter than premium releases.
