Booker's Batch 2015-04 'Oven Buster' Small Batch Straight Bourbon (75cl)

Booker's Batch 2015-04 'Oven Buster' is the fourth batch of 2015, from the period when Booker's batches were numbered rather than named. It is a Kentucky straight bourbon from Jim Beam Distillery in Clermont, bottled uncut and unfiltered at natural barrel proof. The label gives an age of roughly six to eight years. The nose is deep caramel, vanilla, toasted oak and brown sugar. The palate is concentrated and rich, with toffee, charred wood, rye spice and dark fruit, leading to a long, warming finish.
