Booker's Bourbon "Pigskin Batch" 2020-03 Review
The third and final Booker’s release of 2020 arrives at a signature cask-strength 63.65 percent ABV. Needless to say, it doesn't pull any punches as it lands an array of intensely concentrated flavors, and palate igniting heat. This iteration features a distinct cinnamon note, which blends seamlessly alongside mocha, chocolate, and baked apple accents. There's nuance and power here all rolled into one, and a finish that lasts an eternity.
