The bourbon industry is moving at the speed of light. In a years time I went from being begged to buy Old Forester to begging to buy Old Forester. Crazy, I had to really put pressure on Old Forester’s Master Taster Jackie Zykan to sell me a barrel. She told me with the bourbon shortage that they were really limiting who they were selling barrels to. There was no chance I was leaving Kentucky without a barrel as last years Old Forester Nicholas Barrel Reserve sold out in a week. We fielded calls of people trying to get more for 6 months. As a little bonus, this years barrel had a bit less lost to the “Angels” which gave us a few more bottles. What does that mean for you? Well, I pay a flat price for the barrel so more bottles means a cheaper cost per bottle that I’m passing along to you. This years Old Forester Nicholas Barrel Reserve is $39.75.
Tasting Notes:
Super smooth with a long lingering finish with no bite. Packed with caramel, roasted pineapple, vanilla with just a very small hint of fall spice. Bottled at 90 proof.

I would suggest you buy more than 1 bottle because when you taste it and realize that you want more… it will be gone.

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.
The third release of three batches from Booker’s Bourbon 2023 Collection is Booker’s Batch 2023-03 ‘Might Fine Batch.’ These mini-releases have become extremely popular, and for good reason. “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. My Dad would say that this is a Mighty Fine batch of Booker’s.” -Fred Noe
This is definitely one of the most unique private barrels of bourbon you’re gonna find anywhere and it comes from our friends at in Kirby at Wyoming Whiskey. It’s been two years since we’ve had this baby! They make their own whiskey in-house instead of getting it shipped to them and finishing it. In doing so, they use winter wheat to churn out a medium length whiskey with notes of honey, burnt sugar, cinnamon and caramel on the finish. It’s sensational – but I only have 120 bottles from this barrel to offer up.
This is the very first 2024 installment of the limited production project from the Bourbon leaders, Booker’s and their iconic master distiller, Freddie Noe. They’re calling this batch ‘Springfield Batch’ as an homage to Booker Noe’s hometown in Kentucky where he was born and raised. This is a little bit of an older age statement than the last few in the series at 7 years, 7 months, and 8 days. It was bottled at 62% alc (124 Proof).
