• 7:33
  Speaker 1: It is what got me into bourbon.
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: One of my first bottles that I was hunting for was Booker's Kitchen Table.
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: That was an early release, I believe in 2018.
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: And I was able to obtain it and that was the day that that happened.
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: I guess I was hooked.
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: So we are going to do the old Louisville barrel bottle breakdown of Booker's by the pond tonight.

  Speaker 1: You guys know that if you watch this podcast or you know about this podcast, that, uh, let's see, am I missing?
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: No, there's not a lot of people commenting tonight, but if you watch the podcast and you know about the podcast that Booker's is a staple.
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: What would you say?
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: Something that we do consistently here on the podcast.
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: We haven't missed, I believe, in the last four years, have not missed reviewing a batch.
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: Now, on this particular release, it's not even on the website.
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: The bookers, the have the.
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: The website has not been updated, but they have the berries batch, which was the first batch of 2025.
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: Updated it to uh by the pond batch and this I was, quite frankly, heard rumblings.
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: It wasn't released.
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: What would you say?
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: It wasn't released here in Ohio yet, and so I was excited to be able to get it and once I got it, we're going to taste it, have it.
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: I, like I said, I don't miss batches of CT and and some.
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: I don't think I'm pretty sure Martin doesn't miss batches either.
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: He pretty much buys a batch to drink and he buys a batch to put up this one.
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: This, the bottle of bookers, is always fantastic.
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: Comes with this little box.
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: People even have smoked drinks in this box, but this box is like a state of what people like.
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: Look at that, the wood bookers there on the back.
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: That's the sculpture of Booker that sits in front of the Jim Beam distillery, but it's just a cool, cool packaging for it and I have a lot of those boxes and I have a lot of those boxes.
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: Then you've got the wax seal with the Jim Beam waxed over logo, with the ribbons, and then each one comes with its diagnostic sticker Plus.
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: Initially the Booker's was handwritten by Booker and now it's handwritten by Jim Beam, by Fred Ngo, because this is his batch.
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: When his dad was dying he told Fred not to F it up.
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: So that's a cool story.
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: But then it comes with this little card that I'll be reading off of.
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: That tells you everything Fantastic.
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: Something that I love about Booker's is the information.
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: Now on the website you got this and usually when you go down you get the current batches and this is the 24.
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: Let's see, I had the 2024-02-03.
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: What the heck.
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: All right, previous batches, all bourbons.
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: Let's see there we go.
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: So they're still right there.
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: There there's Barry's batch, current batches.
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: We're on current batches and I think that was 1.402.03.04.
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: Previous.
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: I'm thinking that, all right.
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: I'm thinking that, alright, I'm going to go back there it is, that's the current.
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: And then what happens is so when you say, see this batch, it gives you that, it gives you the thing, and there's all the stuff that's on the card that you get to read about, but this is Barry's batch, so they don't have the other batch yet, so let's go back to here, all right.
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: So that means I have to give you information on this.
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: I have to read this.
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: Very interesting why.
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: All right, it's up.
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: It would be nice.
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: I'm just wondering these days what they're doing to me on my live stream.
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: They must have me completely strangled, all right, anyways.
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: So what it is, it's the 2025-02.
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: I'll get this on and we're gonna read away.
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: Here we go, we've got our light.
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna try not to shine you all in the in the.
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: Uh, pretty sure it's right there lower.
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: So the 2020 o2 batch is, by the pond batch 63.25 ABV or 126.5 proof.
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: Seven years, one month, 20 days.
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: It's signed right here by Booker Noh Master Distiller, 1960-1992.
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: And then the second US batch story.
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: The second US release of Booker's 2025 collection is Booker's Batch 2025-02 by the Pion Batch.
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: This batch is named after Dad's beloved backyard pond, a special place where you'd be sure to find him on sunny afternoons.
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: We didn't always have a pond in the backyard, but then Dad decided he wanted to raise catfish and bluegills.
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: So we always have fresh fish for supper.
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: And that was that Next thing I knew.
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: Dad took some buddies to work digging the pond, filling it up, making it homey enough for all those fish.
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: After a few days, the pond Dad had dreamed up was right behind our house.
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: But it wasn't all smooth sailing At first.
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: The pond leaks, so we put in a liner held down by with big stones.
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: Then, after realizing the city water was no good for fish, dad rigged a system to bring in fresh rainwater.
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: And finally we had to figure out what to do about the 50-foot maple tree looming above.
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: When its leaves fell, we covered the whole pond.
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: Dad set up a net to catch them on the water surface, but all he ended up catching was the fish underneath, finding dozens of them tangled up in each morning.
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: Eventually he put a roof over the pond and it became something more a place to reflect.
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: It was where he sat with Freddy as a boy for hours on end and where he enjoyed plenty of those warm Kentucky days.
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: I think it's one of the places he felt most at peace.
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: I hope you savor this back place where you find your own bit of happiness, wherever that may be.
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: So go off and enjoy.
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: Fred Noe Beam Family Seventh Generation Master Distiller.
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: So on the back here.
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: Booker's by the Pond batch is made up of barrels from seven production dates that were aged in eight different warehouse.
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: This batch is aged to seven years, one month and 20 days.

  Speaker 1: 9% came from the 6th floor of Warehouse G At Waterfill, a seven-story warehouse.
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: This batch was selected during a very wet spring with some record rainfall in Kentucky.
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: I enjoyed the color of this batch, which looked like some of the beautiful horses that will compete in a few weeks for the Kentucky Derby on the first Saturday in May.
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: The nose is very inviting, with vanilla and oaky notes.
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: That really is pleasing to me.
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: The first taste was very nice and had a sweetness I enjoyed, so I took a second.
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: The second taste was nice and the finish complimented and completed the experience as well.
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: I feel sure my dad would have enjoyed sipping by the pond batch, sitting by his pond feeding his fish, waiting for them to grow, so he could enjoy eating them with some great Booker's bourbon.
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: All right, so there's the card.
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: And that brings us to section.
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: We are going to open this, this Booker's, and we will.
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: Hey, hey, matt, good to see you.
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: The last three batches, but I may pick up the newest reserves this year, all right, but I'm getting this one right now.
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: I picked this up at the distillery, along with I.
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: I picked up a knob creek 12.
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: I picked up the batchob Creek 12.
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: I picked up the Batch 8, james B Beam special experiment that they just released at the distillery.
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: This one's unique because it's in a peated barrel.
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: So we'll see what happens with that.
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: But now the bookers.
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: I got that baby and you got that wax seal.
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: You pull off off.
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: Here we go, all right.
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: Oh, there we go.
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: Now I do have some information on bookers.
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: Let's just go right here.
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna click on that.
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: So it's been.
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: The company is Beam Centauri.
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: The distillery is Jim Beam.
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: They do bookers at their Boston distillery.
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: When you drive that, that's a beautiful distillery.
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: That's like kind of on a farm because it's surrounded by cornfields.
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: And then let's see, the mash bill is 77 corn, 13 rye and 10% malted barley.
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: The price is $99.
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: I paid a little bit more at the.
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: I paid a little bit more at the distillery.
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: Frederick Booker Noe too was Jim Beam's grandson and the master distiller of Jim Beam from 1965 to 1992 and is the namesake for Booker's Bourbon.
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: Booker's Bourbon first came to be when Booker's would hand select barrels to give as holiday gifts for friends.
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: Eventually the popularity of these bottles caught on and then Beam started to bottle in larger quantities.
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: Booker was launched in 1988 as the first mass-produced bourbon bottle straight from the barrel, uncut and unfiltered, like the Scotchie Bourbon Boys boys.
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: After retiring in 92, booker went on to work as an ambassador for the company and traveled the world promoting beam bourbon until his death in 2004.
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: How about that, folks?
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: That's some good information.
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: Bookers I love, I love bookers.
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: So we got it open and it's smelling.
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: The smell is taking over the whole thing now.
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: They used to be real corks, but I believe.
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: Now I want to say they are not real corks now, but that, but that's not a big deal.
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: The way of corking that they do is unintrusive.
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: The age is good, because a while back the age was starting to back off on the batches.
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: Here we go.
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: Um, I'll read what says the whiskey in this package is the highest grade bourbon created by me here at jim beam.
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: It is bottled unc and unfiltered, my grandfather Jim being liked his whiskey from six to eight years old Baker's Bourbon is quality screened to remove only pieces of charred barrel wood.
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: So it's just run through a screen and I believe that was actually Booker's note.
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: So there we go, drop that back over there.
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: So let's see what we got All right up and coming.
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: This is our old louisville whiskey company barrel bottle breakdown.
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: Old louisville whiskey company in louisville, kentucky, uh, milwaukee.
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: Amin has done such a fantastic job and his experience is unlike any other.
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: So you got to check out Amin and the Old Louisville Whiskey Company and if you're in Louisville it's a must.
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: Stop.
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: Check out their website and book a what would you say, a personalized experience.
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: Make an appointment to see Amin.
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: Amin does some great stuff at Old Louisville Whiskey Company.
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: The barrel is younger than seven years old.
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: It's fantastic whiskey and they sponsor the Old Louisville Whiskey Company.
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: Barrel Bottle Breakdown.
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: Now, the Barrel Bottle Breakdown is a rating system that we have come to love here on the Scotchy Bourbon Boys.
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: It has evolved and it is as follows it is based off of the nose, the body and the finish.
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: It can get four knocks on the barrel with my trusty hammer, and for the nose and the body, and up to five knocks for the taste and the finish.
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: Taste and the finish.
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: But if one of the categories is exceptional, you can add an additional knock called a butt-up-up.
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: So there we go.
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: So we are about to rate the current batch of Booker's 20-25-02 by the pond.
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: So here we go, the pond.
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: So here we go.
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: There's a little bit of brown sugar and vanilla, not a lot of caramel.
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: There's the classic Jim Beam peanut, but it's got a nice toasted, almost cherry, like a toasted cherry bread going on here.
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: It's a nice nose.
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: This everybody knows that when it comes to Booker's that's one of my favorite.
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: All right, there we go.
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: We've nosed it Now in my Glencairn holding it up.
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: I poured a little bit.
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: All right, let's see, you can always take your Glen.
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: It's a great tasting glass.
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: The Scotchy Bourbon Boys have plenty of them for sale.
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: If you want one, contact me and I will get one to you.
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: And this is like perfect.
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: It rolls around and then when you pick it up up, you watch the whiskey stick to the sides and you wait for it to roll back down and that gives you a feeling of the mouth feel that you're going to have and the viscosity of the bourbon.
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: And in this case it is top to bottom wide legs.
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: These are not thin legs, but that's what you come to expect from an uncut, unfiltered bourbon the original uncut and unfiltered barrel strength bourbon.
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: All right, so this batch is got some.
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: I mean, just based off that, I'm gonna say that that is almost a ba-dup-up.
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: Let's just see it's got a shot.
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: So the nose I've had.
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: So let's give this mouth feel.
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: Mm-hmm.
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: Wow, wow, that's an explosion.
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: What is it?
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: That was palate shock.
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: But God, oh, wow, wow, you might have to get this one, walker.
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: I mean not Walker, but Matt.
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: That is a fantastic bourbon, one of the better batches in a long time.
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: I want trying to think what that is.
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: Try it again.
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: All right, so there's caramel, vanilla, a little bit of cherry, um, like toasted almonds.
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: The hug is fantastic.
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: But there's a little bit of leather, but it's then drownded back out by the sweet.
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: You know what?
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: It's really weird?
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: It's not, it's pomegranate.
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: That is bizarre.
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: It almost has a pomegranate finish and I don't think I've ever pulled pomegranate off.
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: The sweetness on the front is amazing.
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: I want to say butterscotch, then leather, and then it comes up with like a pomegranate finish.
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: I've never had that, but it tastes like pomegranates, like that wonderful juicy thing when you, wonderful juicy thing when you.
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: It's like like that pomegranate tartness.
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: But it is, like Walker says, very, very sweet on the front.
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: I'm just, it just keeps going more and more butterscotch.
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: It's not pure butterscotch, because it picks up that.
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: I want to say it's not tobacco, it's leather.
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: It picks up a leathery feel this is a big Kentucky bourbon right here which then the leather feel goes to like a pomegranate, it's like a soury.
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: It's a little sour for cherry, it's a little sour for cherry and it has that, that of pomegranate, not the tartness of cherry.
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: All right, so let's give this Booker's uh a.
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: Let's get the barrel.
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: The barrel bottle breakdown.
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: Old Louisville barrel bottle breakdown going right here.
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: I would say the nose is the weakest thing.
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: Some of the flavors that you experience, you do not experience any of the sweetness on the nose.
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: The nose fools you for what you're about to get.
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: So this nose out of four, in my opinion, is just average at two.
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: Two knocks on the barrel.
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: But now we go for body, the sweetness that fills completely.
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: This is a four for body.
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: So then we go um, let's see if you're hearing it.
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: Let's see if you're hearing it.
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you guys can hear it on YouTube.
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: You hear the knocks.
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: All right, so we're going to go for taste.
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: I mean out of five.
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: I don't think there's most.
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: The only batch, the Boston batch, was the only batch that ever I rated less than four.
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: I am going to give the taste four out of five.
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: So we're at four out of five.
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: Let's see it doesn't drink like a 126 point.
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: I want to say let's see 126.5.
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: It does not, it's, it does not, it's.
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: Now we're on finish.
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: I would say finish is long.
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: The uniqueness of the pomegranate, a little bit of the leather, doesn't leave a bad taste in your mouth.
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: So I will give this finish a five.
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: There you go, folks.
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: A five, a four, a nine, a two, which gives you 11, and then a four for a total of 15 out of 18 points.
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: All right, so we're doing all right.
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: So I got a couple things to talk about.
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: I'm going to put this over.
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: Let's put this, uh, right up here.
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: Put that like that, all right.
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: So, uh, this past weekend I was at it was just a fantastic weekend and that's one of the cool things about the scotchy bourbon boys.
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: At this point the amount of reckon, wreck, recognizing, the amount of being recognized, has increased significantly.
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: And, uh, let's see, since we're that, just that's not a big deal, I don't have to keep up.

  Speaker 1: We went over right when we finished with ross from 1792, we went over to the jim beam distillery james b beam distillery uh, over there and drove over there and ate a snack kind of thing at the kitchen, not a full out lunch or dinner, but we knew we were going to go to dinner at the Trail Hotel, so we got some food in us and while we were finishing up, stacy Pritchard's invited us over to the Brendiamo Penthouse, where the Kentucky Bourbon Festival offices are in the Oscar Goetz Museum, and so we met her there and Sarah Evans shout out to her.

• 40:36
  Speaker 1: So it was just a fantastic Friday based off of one scheduled event and a bunch of other events turning out to be pretty awesome and a bunch of other events turning out to be pretty awesome.
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: Then on Saturday we had to get our butts up and get over to the RD1 and New Distillery in Lexington, kentucky, Met Barry Brinegar there.
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: He is co-owner and bourbon steward for RD1 Spirits we talked about, did a podcast there, and then we did a shout out to Lacey.

• 41:49
  Speaker 1: And then when we were finished there, I had no idea where the art.
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: You know, because I'm not that familiar with Lexington, I'm familiar with the downtown and over by the distilling, what would you say?
• 42:04
  Speaker 1: There's a hole where Town Branch is and then across the street is now Dark Arts, where RD1 used to be.
• 42:12
  Speaker 1: Goodfellow's Pizza is there, there's James E Pepper, there's an ice cream store, there's the Barrel House, bourbon also, and I know that area.
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: But where RD1 is is a development and there's going to be it's going to be similar to that area, I think restaurants and shops and stuff like that.
• 42:37
  Speaker 1: But RD1 is like the first one in there and we finished up there and when we were done, we're like looking for a place and and he, we found good fellows pizza, where I knew that was in the distilling.

  Speaker 1: Uh, area where rd1 used to be and dark arts is now, and I asked how far away with it was it?
• 42:59
  Speaker 1: And it was three minutes away.
