Booker's 2015-4 Oven Buster Batch 6yr 5mo 20days 63.5
Nose: Orange marmalade, amaretto, toasted bread,coffee, brown sugar, cocoa nibs
Taste: Wood, raisin, pecan pie, oiled leather. Hints of chocolate, orange, and honey.
Finish: Cinnamon and vanilla. Barrel char follows with hints of tea leaves. Surprisingly tame for the proof.
Balance: Excellent overall with bold and full flavors.
Final Thoughts: I've loved this bourbon from the start. I've tasted from or purchased 6 bottles of this batch and it is consistently excellent. If you can still find a bottle, buy it! This is a top tier bourbon for around $50.
For me, sweet orange in whisky is a great treat. With tea and cinnamon too, this sounds a bit like sweetened orange spice tea...with lots of other stuff thrown in.
@newreverie, thanks for your very nice review.
