‘Annis’ Answer’ is the second release from the 2016 Booker’s Batch collection named in honour of the day Booker Noe asked Annis Wickham to be his wife. Thankfully, she said yes 😉 and they were married on April 7th 1956.
Annis Wickham Noe comments:
“I’m pleased to honour Booker’s legacy with the release of this batch. While I don’t drink too much bourbon these days, I wasn’t going to pass up the chance to give this batch a taste. Annis’ Answer offers the rich flavours of vanilla that Booker always looked for in his namesake bourbon. So I hope you’ll join me in raising a glass to toast Booker, our many adventures together as husband and wife and the question that began it all.”
This batch is made up of barrels from four different production dates stored in 5 different storage areas. The oldest barrels in the batch were 7 years, 1 month old and the youngest barrels were 6 years, 2-month-old. This batch has an aroma that opens up well after a short period of time in the glass.
“The vanilla comes through with a lot of other sweet notes as most batches of Bookers. The mouth feel is good with a little more heat that lingers on the back of your throat which I appreciated on the cool morning I sampled the batch. With a small amount of water added, this batch opens up nice. If Booker were still alive I know he would say “I done good” on this batch.”
