Description

If you knew Booker, then you knew “mighty fine” was his go to phrase. He would often get together with other folks in the bourbon industry to taste samples of Booker’s Bourbon, and everyone knew he was happy with his selection when he sipped it and said it was “mighty fine,” followed by, “that’s a damn good batch!”. This batch is made up of barrels from seven production dates that were aged in six different warehouses. The breakdown of barrel storage for Booker’s “Mighty Fine Batch” is as follows: 2% came from the 5th floor of 7 story warehouse Q 3% came from the 6th floor of 7 story warehouse Z 8% came from the 5th floor of 9 story warehouse G 10% came from the 6th floor of 7 story warehouse 1 10% came from the 5th floor of 9 story warehouse H 12% came from the 5th floor of 9 story warehouse G 55% came from the 5th floor of 7 story warehouse 3 The color of this Booker’s batch invites you to take a long look and enjoy the rich, beautiful color. The nose is very pleasant, with all the characteristics Dad looked for in his namesake bourbon. The vanilla and brown sugar sweet notes come through very well from the white oak barrels this bourbon aged in for over seven years. The taste is great and full bodied; when I added a splash of water, it opened up some great flavors, with a finish that gives a lovely “Kentucky Hug.” My Dad would say that this is a Mighty Fine batch of Booker’s."
