Booker’s Donohoe’s Batch 2021-01 Review
Ready for our Booker’s Donohoe’s Batch review? Let’s jump right in.
Nose – 93 out of 100 Points
Rich caramel with vanilla fluff rounded out with peanuts and clove. Prime Booker’s goodness.
Taste – 95 out of 100 Points
Caramel apple immediately assaults my palate. The mouthfeel is phenomenal. My entire mouth is coated with thick, caramelly bourbon. Creamy honey peanut butter and graham cracker stand out on the mid-palate.
Finish – 94 out of 100 Points
More of that sweet and savory — caramel, vanilla, honey, peanut butter, and cinnamon.
Verdict – Gold 94 out of 100 Points
What a way to start 2021. This batch is going to be hard to beat but if I know anything about Booker’s bourbon when Jim Beam gets on a roll Booker’s is hard to beat. This bourbon is classic Booker’s with rich, deep flavors perfectly balanced and superbly complex.
