  • his is a very decadent batch of Booker’s in general, and that’s not a bad thing. Lovers of big, rich Booker’s batches will probably have no complaints about shelling out $90 when it comes to the Lumberyard Batch.

  • Booker’s 2022-02 is a mellow, easy-sipping, superbly rounded bourbon. If you missed Ronnie’s Batch, run out and grab this throwback release of Booker’s.

House Review
  • Nose:

    Bold, funky, toffee. Sweet and complex, there's tons of nutty funk, oak, toffee and a good deal of caramel and tannin.

  • Taste:

    Creamy on the palate, rich and viscous. A good deal of caramel. graham cracker, pepper and oak. Hefty ethanol presence on this one, although its matched with plenty of flavor and character. Touch of cinnamon.

  • Finish:

    Long finish, sweet and oaky, drier than recent batches. Peanut brittle, cocoa, a touch of ginger, ethanol and caramel.

  • Overall:

    Overall, this is a killer pour that leans a touch more into oak and bold character compared to 2022-01. For fans of Booker's who wish recent batches were a little more tannic and dry to offset the bold caramels and dessert notes, you'll be pleased.
