This one’s lighter, drier, and with more spice. Cinnamon, mint, nutmeg, licorice root, citrus, and subtle botanical notes, all wrapped up in caramel and vanilla.

House Review
Nose:
Maple sugar bomb. Smells like a great waffle breakfast. Theres a lot more alcohol but I still feel like I get a lot less from this nose compared to ABunadh, which is one of the only other barrel proofers Ive had besides the Bookers here. I like it, and I want more of it.
Taste:
Both the pepper and vanilla are more subdued here with a massive landslide of maple and molasses. Vanilla sneaks in at the end with some oaky wood to finish up. Still caters to my favorite bourbon profile very much. Yum.
Finish:
A little short, and a little hot, but not unreasonable given the proof. Sweetness continues.
Overall:
This is a little off profile from other Bookers Ive reviewed, but not by much. Still enjoyable.
