This is another super limited production project from the Bourbon leaders, Booker’s and their iconic master distiller, Fred Noe. They’re calling this batch from April of 2021, ‘Noe Strangers’. It’s a monster at 6 years 6 months and 12 days and 124.4 Proof (62.2% alc.)
This is a gorgeous non-chill filtered Cask Strength bourbon made in new charred oak with a mashbill of 77% Corn, 13% Rye and 10% Malted Barley. I happen to think it’s one of the best things I’ve ever had from these Bourbon legends, probably because Freddie made it as an homage to his father Booker Noe. It’s got a gorgeous caramel nose that also features notes of hazelnuts, toffee and dried dark fruit. It’s got the classic Booker aroma profile with the warm, heavy palate that flashes oak, caramel, baking spices, with a nutty component. The finish is long with baking spices, vanilla and a Kentucky hug.
The breakdown is as follows:
39% came from the 6th floor of 9-story warehouse J
31% came from the 5th floor of 7-story warehouse Q
27% came from the 5th floor of 9-story warehouse D
3% came from the 2nd floor of 9-story warehouse H

Rich and creamy notes of toasted oak, vanilla, caramel, and fresh baked Bundt cake immediately flood the sense’s as soon as you pop this one open. Bottled at 100-Proof, you get a little bit of heat on the front palate followed by rich oak, leather and freshly baked bread. As it starts to open, you get some sweeter, creamy vanilla notes that cream in as well as campfire s’mores and a dash of pepper. The finish is long, and a bit spicy which leaves a memorable aftertaste and leaves you wanting more.
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.
In the 2020 vintage in Gevrey-Chambertin, yields were super low and temperatures were hotter than most Burgundian winemakers are accustomed. Many picked too late when the sugars were high and the fruit really ripe, but that was not the play. Still, Ann remained as cool in those hot temps as she did so many years ago in Napa, concentrating more on acid levels than sugars and picking at just the right time. This wine is absolutely singing – it’s an age-worthy beauty that should be even better in 4-7 years.

“Rich layers of spiced fruit aromas reveal themselves in waves; cinnamon baked plums, caramelized apple tart, and floral undertones. Concentrated flavors of mixed baking spices, peach skin, fresh tobacco, and brown sugar are luscious and ever evolving through the suede texture. A pleasure to sip.”
