Bookers Noe´s 7 years with 63.3 % volume / 89 from 100 points

Booker Noe´s 7 years 5 month Special Barrel Bourbon 126,7 Proof, 92 month old, directly from the cask. Small Batch Bourbon Collection. 89 from 100 points 2005 at tasting.com. 700 ml.

Rich copper color. Toffee and earthy, oily roasted peanut aromas. A rich entry leads to a vibrant off-dry full-bodied palate with toasted coconut, toffee, dried fruit, brown spice, white pepper, and wood polish flavors. Finishes with a chewy tannic fade of rich spice and dried fruits. A big brawny style with fire and remarkable balance. Opens and smooth out great with water. Try with cigars.

The Small Batch Bourbon Collection®

The Small Batch Bourbon Collection® – comprised of Knob Creek®, Booker’s®, Basil Hayden’s® and Baker’s® – is a group of ultra-premium bourbon whiskies handcrafted in limited quantities from unique recipes, some dating back two centuries. They are carefully matured for exceptional quality.
Booker Noe, grandson of the legendary Jim Beam, created The Small Batch Collection and in doing so is credited with establishing the category of super-premium bourbons. Booker took great care in crafting his bourbon, and the Booker’s Bourbon bottle even features a label written in Booker Noe’s own handwriting. If you look closely, you will actually notice a small error. There is no mistake about the premium quality of his collection, however.
