Well I checked the ohio lq last night and said a Kroger had Eagle rare which I’ve been trying to find for years. I’m the first one in line and they come out and say they have taylor and BT. Wanted a bt too but only one bt product per customer, I’ll take a taylor though over er

Definitely one of my favorites bottled in bonds, Chayse.

It's getting some nice reviews fropm some Booker's fans I trust, I need to open one. Have you tried it yet Chayse?
I haven’t yet, probably will crack it tonight or tomorrow! Hopefully it’s as good as 22-4
In that same value/proof vein, I picked this one up. I absolutely loved their wheated, but have never tried their regular.
And lest ye think I embarked upon a purely selfish shopping trip...I also picked up a couple things for little man so he can properly celebrate 5/4:

I have never had the chance to try Bookers and most around here are 130 and up. I got a shop to make a deal with me for 300 for these 3 bottles so who needs money anyway. On a side note I have a few bottles of EH small batch and blantons for trade so if anyone is interested.

I had to go to Lower WV for work this week and had a day in Huntington which is 15 minutes from KY so had to make my first trip across the river into Bourbon Country! Before the trip over I stopped a local shop and found a Elijah Craig Private barrel 8 year 129 proof I picked up (not pictured). These all came from the same shop, I couldn’t believe the selection coming from controlled states. At first they said they had no Blantons and to come back Thursday, as soon as I walked up with 4 bottles they magically had a bottle for me. I paid $534 for the haul not including a $100 for the Elijah Craig private barrel after taxes. Did I do ok or get ripped off? @icehog3 how does Kentucky Tea hold up to Ronnie’s and Pinky’s batches of bookers? They had one of the shelf for $129 that I debated on.

Some nice bottles there Chayse @the camaro show . You might have paid a little extra but I hardly think you got ripped off. That Maker's is really nice, probably the second best of the whole series.
I was saying that Kentucky Tea was the best Booker's since 2019 until Charlie's (23-01) came out. It's a really solid batch, but I'd be a buyer at $99 or less.

I'm curious to hear your thoughts on this compared to the regular Bulleit Bourbon, Carlos.
I'll let you know. I didn't know they made a 10yr...it popped out at me as I perused the shelves. Always thought the standard Bulleit was good for the price. This one was like $10 more so we shall see.
I was at a store yesterday and they had a sign saying all Bookers was $120 and had Little Book on the same table. I grabbed it and sure enough it rang up for 120. Had a taste last night and it was super good. Has an interesting mix of whiskey in it.
