Like a good book, it’s intriguing, gratifying and full of depth. Marketing aside, it is nice to see a well-aged rye on the shelves, albeit at a little steeper of a price It's like sitting in a book cafe with a plate of sweet fruit and the excitement of opening up an old book. Similarities: Very little, surprisingly, at least between the Triumph and the Brook Hill.

I've faltered slightly in my mission to review every Booker's batch!

According to the story, this is a whiskey steeped in history: At the height of America’s original whiskey boom Overall this ended up drinking a little more simple & not quite as magical as the first taste I had with Allspice and nutmeg dial the spice levels a little too far for comfort, ultimately reminding me of amburana

Hmm, after a little time in the glass, things start to get interesting... With little to no evolution in the glass over time, I pick through until I find a watered-down version If you're looking for some more context here, feel free to check out my YouTube video on this bottle

bourbon made sense to him: When I originally came back to Cedar Ridge, the company was producing a little Considering that I was exposed to a major whiskey boom while I was working in the state of Colorado, A little tidbit I used as inspiration in the final chapter of my first novel, Time for Once .

While this bottle started a little potent, zesty, and spicy, a little air time has done wonders to create I look forward to the next! Bonus Comparisons to the 2022 Release Heaven Hill Heritage Collection 17 Year Bourbon I may be a little I find the 17 year is a little more one-dimensional compared to the 18 year, which is an incredible feat considering how many notes I previously took on my full review of the 2022 release.

Even better when we are catching beautiful brook trout too. More citrusy today than when I first cracked this one yesterday for #McKennaMonday, it's a little different Rating: 4/5 Buy Henry McKenna Bourbon Here Brook trout caught by yours truly

This 14 year sample is courtesy of the great @Ra1nmannn, who's name should look quite familiar on this Coming back to this after a little more air time has led this glass towards a light plum, singed cacao Slightly herbal after a sip, and I'm still surprised how little fruit I get on the nose for how much It reminded me of toothpaste a little bit. Boom - big, bright vanilla rings out clear and strong on this - truly delicious smelling.

It's a phoenix-from-the-ashes story when you look back at the struggling family label that managed to Pappy's son, Julian Van Winkle Junior, took over the business at a time when bourbon was unfortunately TL;DR: Everything about this bourbon is nice, but it leaves me feeling a little sleepy Rating:  4/5 Really I want to also take a little time to set some of the record straight from my last review , where I feel like I was a little too harsh—unduly so.

certainly gotten longer since that time of writing and I'd like to think I've broadened my horizons a little I remember being a little let down at time of opening of this bottle - yes this was a bigger and bolder It's notably fruity after a little air time; leaning on some tropical fruit like pomegranate and passionfruit It's notably missing the citrus pop I've come to know, love and expect out of their ryes - but looking first sip is packed with juicy fruit upfront, fading into a mint and passionfruit linger that falls a little

I've had plenty of Booker's batches by now... I used this opportunity to crosscheck with the website to see which new Booker's batch I hadn't reviewed Damn; it just has something nostalgic of 'just getting hooked on bourbon' for me personally too, but Another fantastic Booker's batch I am stoked to have on my shelf.

I took two sips and foolishly went to text myself: "FIND WELLER 12 WHEN YOU GET HOME". If you're a little more needy than that, like I am, let's dive a little deeper on what I enjoyed about Michter's 10 Year Bourbon // Kings County Bottled-in-Bond Recommendations based on wheated mash bill: Boone Makers, Boone county or Old Louisville. - @fitwildwest If I can't get a Weller 12 and really want an
