It took almost three years for me to be able to pick out my own barrel of Clyde May’s. Before that, I was always just offered me their Alabama Whiskey. Not that it’s not great – it is, but I’m a purist and like high proof straight bourbon. Thankfully, my persistence paid off last and I was able to select a 5-year old Bourbon. Coming from Alabama, I wasn’t sure how it was going to do…
If you’re wondering how I was able to get a second barrel, (while most wait for the chance to pick out their first) I’ll tell you exactly how. The Bourbon Buyers Club. After telling my friends in Alabama we sold our entire barrel in just two days, the team down there was crazy excited (maybe they think we all just drink Cranberry juice) and offered us a second barrel of their prized whiskey. Our club has grown a little bit since our last offering, so I would not wait around too long for this one.

This is obviously something very rare and very special. In fact, I only have one bottle and even that took some convincing. It’s worth it to a lucky collector though. This single malt is matured exclusively for twenty-five years in Oloroso sherry seasoned oak casks from Jerez, Spain. Laying undisturbed in the same casks for so long transforms this into a silky, luxurious single malt whisky characterized by its rich flavors of vanilla, dried fruits and ginger spice with a long finish and rich mahogany color.
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.
This project has become one of my favorite things. Sending Eddie Russell’s Reserve Bourbon barrels down to Jalisco, Mexico to Espolon where fill them with their knockout Añejo Tequila. Then they send me back a barrel of our very own Tequila, with so many intricacies that separate it from any other I’ve tasted. All for a price that’s better than a regular bottle of good Tequila! Great on its own but surprisingly really enjoyable with food as well.
This is the fourth and last installment of the Booker’s Small Batch collections from 2022. I’ve noticed that with each one, the quality continues to rise, but unfortunately it seems like that’s true of the price as well (for everything!). The Pinkie’s batch is in honor of Booker Noe’s dad, the original Frederick Booker Noe, better known as “Pinkie”. It’s a gorgeous Bourbon at over 122 Proof but you never feel the heat. It’s a seamless, gorgeous blend.
