Booker's 2024-02 "Beam House Batch"
124.6 proof 7 years, 2 months, 22 days Bourbon James B. Beam Distilling Company Clermont, KY $99

Initial ethanol lift that settles to reveal vanilla, light oak, and an airy freshness. Balanced aromatic presentation without aggression. Subtle oak and vanilla forward with a delicate quality.

Buttery and rich with a surprising cherry note and vanilla cream quality. Evokes a flaky breakfast pastry with croissant-like texture. Balanced presentation across front, middle, and back. Cinnamon spice present but subdued. A tingle on the front of the palate and hidden nuttiness that emerges after water.

Medium-length with good persistence. Balanced and graceful without overwhelming heat despite lower proof than other releases.

Really good
A refined and food-friendly Booker's that showcases buttery sophistication and pastry-like character, perfect for morning sipping alongside a bakery treat.
