Richnimrod Posted September 22, 2024 Share Posted September 22, 2024 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. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geclbxf Posted September 27, 2024 Share Posted September 27, 2024 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. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
