Booker's Bourbon 2022-04 ‘Pinkie's Batch’ Review
This late-2022 Booker’s release is named after Booker Noe's father, who was known as "Pinkie" among loved ones. It was aged for almost 7 years and arrives at 61.2 percent ABV. Despite its high proof, the whiskey remains flavorful and — dare we say it — approachable, with noticeable but not overwhelming heat. Spiced notes add a layer of complexity to the rich apple pie flavors at its core. Fans of high-proof, high-octane bourbon will find much to enjoy in this release.
