As an enthusiast with a yearning for being absolutely complete in everything that I do, I took a look Regardless of the source, Rare Character manages to bring a little bit of Portugal sunshine to snowy The earthy tones start steering things a little more savory than before; the tiramisu evolving into something manages to bring an eclectic energy to the table here and ultimately delivers a whiskey for the record books If it did, make sure to drop me a comment down below as I always look forward to connecting with folks

This one is showing a little bit of proof imbalance later in the glass. Brittany sipped this and thought this was a little too spicy for her palate. Woah, after refreshing my palate with some water this took on a rich butterscotch and nutty profile that The brown sugar bomb comes off just a little too spicy. This is a barrel proof lovers delight. It's than little bit of flashy over-proofed linger that knocks this down just below the Taylor.

Granny's Tagalong Blend is a 50/50 mix of 2020-01 and 2021-02 batches from Booker's.

I'm going to preface this review with the fact that Granny's Batch was the batch that really got me hooked on Booker's. ready to head to bed to rest up before a flight to Alaska the next day, and this nightcap pour totally took

There are hints of orange peel, angostura bitters and grenadine jumping up in little whack-a-mole surprises Overall the glass falls back into a very comfortable and enjoyable creamy vanilla frosting profile with a little someone just getting started out in the space, but the veteran is definitely going to be yearning for a little

I'm a little too tired for an in depth review tonight, but it's Friday Rye-Day so I thought I'd pour zesty and spicy early on the nose, but not sharp or biting now that this bottle has been open for a little

The linger hangs up in the gums for a little while without pushing out too much in the way of flavor. Ooh, now things are opening up a little better.
