Nose
Caramel and vanilla with brown sugar and honey notes; sweet candy notes on the back end; leather and dark fruit undertones; peanut-shell roasted character.
Palate
Hot with significant heat but still sweet; Kentucky hug without overwhelming intensity; butterscotch notes present; smooth for the proof level.
Finish
Warm, lingering sweetness with spice.

An impressive uncut, unfiltered bourbon that delivers heat and sweetness in balance with complex flavor layers typical of premium Booker's releases.
