$224.99 price per bottle
Booker’s “Lumberyard Batch” 2022-02 Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey The official age statement on Lumberyard Batch is 7 years, 1 month and 7 days, which isn’t hugely older than the 6-6. 5 years that has been common more recently, but a nice little upgrade nonetheless. Strength weighs in at a pretty typical 124. 8 proof. A beautiful amber color and deep aroma with a hint of vanilla and oak that opens its depth. It has a balanced taste with a bit of sweetness that leads to a pleasant finish On the nose, the Lumberyard Batch is sweet and a little bit fruity, suggestive of apricot tea with lots of honey. I’m also getting the requisite caramel and vanilla, along with toasted graham cracker and a bit of licorice. Notably, the ethanol on the nose is really quite subdued for the burly 124. 8 proof point. On the palate, this turns out to be quite a sweet and unctuous batch of Booker’s—I suspect it might actually be too sweet for some, but also that lovers of Booker’s as a brand probably prefer the batches with amplified sweetness, which this one definitely has. Notes of honey, caramel, vanilla, dried apricot and pear contribute to the syrupy sweet profile, which is picked up by sturdy heat (still very easy to drink neat), pepper, peanut shells, and sweet nut toffee. TASTING NOTES: Color: Beautiful amber Aroma: deep with hints of vanilla and oak that lead you back to enjoy it several times to explore its depth. Palate: balanced with a bit of sweetness and a pleasant finish that will leave you longing for another sip.
