Booker's - Little Book Chapter 7 - In Retrospect
The seventh chapter in the Little Book Whiskey series, “In Retrospect” offers any curious whiskey drinker a chance to explore where American whiskey can go by looking back to where it’s been.
Now, with six chapters written, the seventh chapter of Little Book pushes the story ahead, building on what’s come before in ways not yet seen. Little Book Chapter 7 is a blend of seven different liquid streams, blending one liquid from each of the previous chapters, then adding a record seventh. “In Retrospect” is a nod to the past but also sets the course for what’s next.
Smell: Floral, apple forward, slight smoke start. A rich caramel gets involved with the apple / apple blossom and baking / all spice notes. Nose is slightly hot, there’s a lot of layered apple and fruit smells here, like apple cider.
Sip: The flavors starts a bit warm, but mellows as it opens. Vanilla, oak, applewood, and burnt caramel come together. There’s a floral sort of apple blossom that butts up against a smokey char. The body is full, and it goes heavily on the fruit and vanilla. The fruit almost reaches for a dark cherry candy or jam note.
Savor: The ending lingers heavily on the long notes of apple, applewood, caramelized sugar, and heavily charred wood. The finish lingers lastingly, and almost florally as it’s predominant finish (possibly apple blossom). That fruitier character travels forward.
