Lote Booker's Bourbon 2021-04 Noe's Strangers

Tasting Notes

Dedicated to Booker Noe’s belief that "strangers are just friends you haven’t met," this 6-year, 6-month-old release is warm and inviting. The aroma delivers deep caramel, fresh-cut wood, and toasted marshmallow. The flavor builds with layers of dark chocolate, cinnamon, charred oak, roasted almonds, and a smoky sweetness. The finish lingers with earthy spice, vanilla husk, and a subtle bourbon heat.
