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.

“At the helm for Blue Run Spirits’ whiskeys are whiskey director Shaylyn Gammon and liquid advisor Jim Rutledge, who demonstrate their mastery with this blend of three Kentucky bourbons aged 6, 8, and 9 years. Oatmeal raisin cookies and tropical aromas dominate the nose, though dried pineapple is soon overtaken by cinnamon spice, vanilla bean, and grape jelly. The palate is rich with flavors of chocolate and espresso, then playful notes of raspberry syrup. Flourless chocolate cake, more fruit, and a good deal of heat make for a tantalizing finish.”
High West’s limited release of Charred Stave Cask Strength Bourbon stands as a testament to the brand’s relentless pursuit of excellence in the craft of whiskey-making. This small-batch bourbon, meticulously crafted by High West’s master distillers, showcases the artistry and innovation that have become synonymous with the brand. Each bottle is aged to perfection in charred stave barrels to impart rich flavors and complexity.
True whiskey and Knob Creek enthusiasts are going to go nuts for this one. Knob Creek Rye is as outstanding as it is rare but today we’re lucky enough to bring to you, my own single barrel of it. This is a big gold expression of Rye that holds nothing back. On the nose, there are hints of dill, rye and essence of charred oak. On the palate, you are hit over the head with baking spice, honey and freshly baked bread. The finish is certainly a warm “Kentucky Hug” that goes on forever.
This is the first release of its kind and was just announced last week. I snagged six bottles as soon as I could. It’s a U.S. only release, and it remains to be seen if there will be others. The Redbreast Kentucky Oak Edition is triple distilled in copper pot stills and matured in American Bourbon barrels and Spanish Oloroso Sherry butts. Then it’s finished for a minimum of 4 months in hand selected, air-dried American Oak from the Taylor family farm in Kentucky.
