Booker's Donohoe's Batch 2021-01, the first release of the Booker’s Bourbon 2021 Collection, is named in honor of retired Jim Beam employee Mike Donohoe, a close friend of Booker Noe. Produced by Jim Beam in Kentucky, this bourbon is crafted with a mashbill of 77% corn, 13% rye and 10% malted barley, aged 6 years, 11 months and 4 days in new charred oak barrels. It is bottled at cask strength, with an ABV of 62.65%, and is non-chill filtered.
More of a dark chocolate bomb than any Booker’s I can remember. The nose is nuanced while the palate and finish are cocoa powder powerhouses. I’m seriously going to mix this with Granny’s Batch and see what happens.
