Today's Bourbon

[icehog3]

Bummer! But yeah, cracking it to let some of that ethanol go, and some time with some air to it oughta help it you would think. Amazing what it does for some of those others if we’re thinking along the same lines...
Has it affected the other bookers you’ve had much?

I have had it affect some Booker's, and fortunately it's always been for the better. I can think of at least 3 batches where I was disappointed by the neck pour but happy with subsequent ones.

I really hope something similar happens with the Chapter 3, with all the hype I've heard about it. But I still have some good stuff to drink if it doesn't.

Both stellar. OE7 is a daily type drinker for me, and the Old Haymarket is 7+ year Heaven Hill at 120 proof. What's not to like?

A frighteningly good Saturday night .

Some pours from Halloween weekend. The JD was in a treat bag from a family member. Can’t even remember the last time I had. Definitely had the banana going.

Cracked open an old Booker's last night, Maw Maw Batch (2015-05). Complex, with a wonderful balance between subtle sweetness and delicious heat.

Killed the Smoke Wagon UCUF last night. Probably won't replace it.

Back-to-Back Booker's last night with Sip Awhile (17-04) and Kathleen's (18-01),

What did you think of Theresas batch @icehog3

What did you think of Theresas batch @icehog3

Teresa's (2019-01)? I love it, Jeremy. Matt @BourbonBinder calls it "The Funk", and there are so many interesting things going on with the nose, palate and finish that I am never bored. Funny thing is many Booker's enthusiasts think Teresa's is one of the worst batches. I steadfastly disagree.

Late night last night.
