The final and fourth batch of 2022 is named in honor of Booker Noe’s dad, the original Frederick Booker Noe, better known as “Pinkie”. Pinkie was a bit fan of Bourbon but was actually the vice president of a local bank instead of joining the family business.
This one was released just before Christmas – but is only finally making its way to the great state of New Jersey now. I have enjoyed each of these batches profusely, but finally got a decent amount to offer up to the Bourbon Buyers Club.
These are collector’s items, re-sell items, or just great bottles of small batch Booker to savor slowly.
AGE: 6 year, 10 months, 10 days
PROOF: 122.4
Tasting Notes: Booker’s “Pinkie’s Batch” has a golden amber color and a balanced aroma of brown spice and vanilla notes. It has the rich vanilla taste Booker’s is often known for, with a lingering well-rounded finish.

I have good news and bad news about the Whistle Pig Double Malt Rye. The good news is I have it, but the bad news is I barely have any to go around. It’s the oldest Rye in the WhistlePig fleet, and is crafted from a mash bill of Rye, Malted Rye and Malted Barley. It’s finished in Spanish Sherry Casks, giving it a very robust and complex mouthfeel with wonderful peppery spice and loads of refinement that is meant to be enjoyed slowly and deliberately.
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.
Basil Hayden’s Kentucky Straight Bourbon is one of those go-to entry level whiskies that you can always count on to deliver. A product of the Beam Distilling Co., the Kentucky Straight checks in at 80 Proof and has a robust, rich flavor that hits you in waves. Charred oak, with notes of honey, caramel and fresh baked bread flood the senses with a brown sugar dominant palate that also features creme brulee notes and a hint of pepper. The finish goes on for a while, and leaves lingering notes of dried fruit, and cocoa.
I was given fourteen samples to taste through, and found that the 5th sample was the winner. This one is not for the faint of heart. It was a tiny barrel of just 40 six-packs, but the quality here was out of the world. It checks in at 110 Proof (55% alc.) and has harmonious sweet and savory notes that dual throughout this super long and memorable finish. It’s worth selling less bottles to bring you one this good – you guys are going to absolutely love it.
