Day 10 of 12 Days of Whisk(e)y. Today ... courage. We have the 2016-02 "Annis Answer" release of Booker's Uncut Bourbon, aged 6 years, 2 months and 1 day, clocking in at a *hearty* 63.35%/126.7 proof.
Nice rich color: aroma has some hints of vanilla and caramel, but you do get the alcohol too. Taste ... strong with quite a punch. There is some spice and some nuttiness, and the taste lingers for quite some time. Adding a splash of water brings out a bit of wood flavor, along with taming down the alcohol burn. I do not get any typical bourbon sweetness.
This is good - reminds me more of an Irish Whiskey or a Rye due to the lack of sweetness. I don't see the need to buy another bottle of this to be honest - but when someone wants a bourbon with some punch, I'll offer them this (: 3.5/5.0
