Booker’s 2016-03 “Toogie’s Invitation,”

At 6 years 4 months and 4 days old there’s a bit of an old-school bourbon nose with caramel and butterscotch leading. Chocolate cinnamon and nutmeg follow. What starts out promising turns to grain opening up to cornbread freshly baked rye bread and vanilla cupcake batter. Once the chewy-to-dry mouthfeel is established there’s walnut bread rice pudding and buttered toast over heat. With water the grain disappears and malty caramel dominates. This needs water or ice to maximize potential.
