Bourbon Booker's 2022-01 Lote de Ronnie

Tasting Notes

This batch pays tribute to longtime warehouse employee Ronnie Land, and showcases the craftsmanship of Booker’s barrel aging. Aged 6 years and 11 months, “Ronnie’s Batch” opens with dark cherry, caramel, and nutmeg. The palate is dense with notes of peanut brittle, burnt sugar, barrel char, and sweet tobacco. The body is full and round, finishing long with hints of rye spice, leather, and vanilla bean.
