Newest Booker's: "The Reserves"

Recommended Posts

Has anyone had a chance to try or buy a bottle of the newest Booker's release?   I believe it will become an 'annual release' of a sort of super premium blend of barrels.   This one is that.   It has 'older' barrels than usual Booker's of late: 3-whse-locations of 8-year, 3-of 9-year, 1-10-year, and 1-14-year.   Suggested retail is $130.   I stopped by local monger and saw the remaining bottle (one of two he'd received) he had for sale.   He'd been offered $600.   I can't/won't swing that.   I'd sure like to have tasted it, though.   I offered to buy it for $160 and open it on the spot and share it with him.   He demurred.

I have tried it.   Went to a ticketed dinner at Beam a few weeks back, and it is really outstanding.   There is a new Little Book spinoff concept that is equally interesting and good - but MSRP on that at the distillery was 200.   I purchased both, and have no regrets.   Having to pick just one, the Bookers spinoff is the more solid of the 2.   The amped up age takes the Booker profile that I already love, and adds some complexity as well as flavor.
