The third installment of the 2023 super limited production project from the Bourbon leaders, Booker’s and their iconic master distiller, Freddie Noe has finally arrived. They’re calling this batch ‘Mighty Fine Batch’ and it was just released this week for their fall 2023 bottling. It’s another uncut and unfiltered monster that was aged seven years, 1 month and 10 days and bottled at 126.6 proof. (63.3% alc.)
Like all batches of Booker’s Bourbon, ‘Might Fine’ Batch was selected by Seventh Generation Master Distiller Freddie Noe.
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” that isn’t too hot, but just right.

Our special relationship with the red-hot Wyoming Whiskey has given us some incredible opportunities. We had a ‘Steamboat’ Whiskey that was previously only for the state of Wyoming as well as our own private barrel. Now, we’ve got their super limited production of Outryder Rye. It’s not a bourbon. It’s not a true rye. The result is a incredibly unique spirit that’s great for sipping or making cocktails. This Straight American Whiskey is a blend of two distinct mashbills, an almost Rye Whiskey and a High Rye Bourbon, that represents Wyoming Whiskey’s first use of Rye.

Michter’s always provides some of the best value in American Whiskey and they never miss. This one is their best bang for the buck bottling that they make. This is so smooth and delicious, you would never know this is bottled at 84.8 Proof. This is a bit of a spicy number with those signature Rye peppery notes, butterscotch, creme brulee and a hint of toasted oak. One of my all-time favorite under $50 bottles.
Suntory Whisky is trying something completely new with this one and it’s a pretty awesome concept. This is their blend of whisky from the five most celebrated regions in the world: Ireland, Scotland, U.S., Canada and Japan. With a number of different climates, processes and cooperages, this blend has a ton going on and yet somehow it’s still a harmonious and enjoyable blend. It’s pretty darn impressive.
I once again found myself with one of the more and limited bottlings from the good people at Michter’s It comes in a round 111 Proof and is a monster from one of the best distilleries out there. This bottling is usually between 107 and 112 Proof but isn’t made every year (only in the good years). It’s oozing with seductive aromas of Cinnamon, rye spice, chocolate and freshly baked gingerbread. Cinnamon, dark chocolate, a hint of Cayenne pepper mixed with charred sugar and oak explode out of the bottle and greet you head on. I wish I had more than six of these beauties to pass out. Such is life.
