  SPEAKER_04: The fourth U.S.
• 16:32
  SPEAKER_04: release of Booker's 2025 collection is Booker's Batch 2504 Pipes Batch.
• 16:37
  SPEAKER_04: Phantom Pipes Batch.
• 16:38
  SPEAKER_04: This batch is named after a curious curious discovery some of our engineers made in the distillery a few years back.
• 16:46
  SPEAKER_04: A whole bunch of pipes that don't lead anywhere at all.
• 16:50
  SPEAKER_04: Dad's friend Jack once said there's three ways to do something.
• 16:53
  SPEAKER_04: There's the right way, the wrong way, and then there's Booker's way.
• 16:57
  SPEAKER_04: Those pipes are a shining example of how to do things Booker's way.
• 17:01
  SPEAKER_04: You see, when Dad was in charge of the Boston plant, he had big goals from finding efficiencies to setting new standards, all in the name of making better bourbon.
• 17:11
  SPEAKER_04: And once he set his mind to something, nothing could keep him from getting it done.
• 17:15
  SPEAKER_04: He were he'd work until he found a solution, until just using just what he had on hand.
• 17:23
  SPEAKER_04: Scrap metal, an engineer's eye, and a dash of stubborn genius for good measure.
• 17:28
  SPEAKER_04: That's where the pipes came into the picture.
• 17:30
  SPEAKER_04: Dad was always tinkering with the distillery equipment, finding new ways to connect one thing to another.
• 17:35
  SPEAKER_04: With pipes that stretched across the plant, a first maintenance would take them down at night.
• 17:40
  SPEAKER_04: But s come morning, Dad was already putting them back up.
• 17:44
  SPEAKER_04: Eventually the boys just left them there at the ready for whatever experiment came along next.
• 17:50
  SPEAKER_04: Today you can see sections of them scattered across the ceiling.
• 17:54
  SPEAKER_04: Dad taught me that if you got an idea in your head, it's worth doing.
• 17:59
  SPEAKER_04: Your darnedest to make it's worth doing your darnedness to make it happen.
• 18:04
  SPEAKER_04: That was Booker's way, and I think it might do us all some good to give it a go.
• 18:07
  SPEAKER_04: Alright, distiller's notes.
• 18:11
  SPEAKER_05: Alright.
• 18:12
  SPEAKER_05: Booker's Phantom Pike batch is made up of barrels from five different production dates.
• 18:19
  SPEAKER_05: The youngest barrels in the batch are aged seven years, six months, and fifteen days.
• 18:24
  SPEAKER_05: At a proof of 126.4.
• 18:28
  SPEAKER_05: The breakdown is as follows.
• 18:30

• 19:20
  SPEAKER_05: The golden amber color is a very pleasing, is very pleasing to the eye, and the nose is a pleasant with vanilla notes and wood notes coming from the aging in the barrel for over seven years.
• 19:35
  SPEAKER_05: I enjoy the taste, which is well rounded and has a finish that lasts but leaves you wanting another sip.
• 19:44
  SPEAKER_05: With poop with fall coming, a glass of the Phantom Pipe's batch while enjoying the crisp ball season will be great.

  SPEAKER_05: The second U.S.
• 22:58
  SPEAKER_05: release of Booker's 2025 collection is Booker's Batch 2025.
• 23:05
  SPEAKER_05: This batch is named after Dad's beloved backyard pond, a special place where you'd be sure to find him on a sunny afternoon.
• 23:17
  SPEAKER_05: We didn't always have a pond in the backyard, but when then dad decided he wanted one to raise catfish in bluegill.
• 23:26
  SPEAKER_05: So we'd always have fresh fish for supper.
• 23:29
  SPEAKER_05: And that was that.
• 23:31
  SPEAKER_05: Next thing you know, dad put me in some bundle and some buddies to work digging the pond, filling it up, make it a honey hole.
• 23:42
  SPEAKER_05: I mean, making it homey enough for those fish.
• 23:48
  SPEAKER_05: After a few days, the pond dad had dreamed up was right behind our house.
• 23:55
  SPEAKER_05: But it wasn't all smooth selling.
• 23:57
  SPEAKER_05: After that, the pond leafed, so we put in a liner held down with big stones.
• 24:04
  SPEAKER_05: Then after realizing the city water was not good enough, was no good for fish, Dad rigged a system to bring in fresh water rain water.
• 24:16
  SPEAKER_05: And finally, he we had to figure out what to do about the filthy the 50 feet maple tree looming above it.
• 24:32
  SPEAKER_05: When his leaves fall, they covered the whole pond.
• 24:36
  SPEAKER_05: Dad set up a net a net to catch them on the water surface, but all all he ended up catching was uh the fish underneath.
• 24:48
  SPEAKER_05: Finding dozens of them tangled in the up in the in the each each morning.
• 24:55
  SPEAKER_05: Eventually he put a a roof over the pond and it became became something more.
• 25:05
  SPEAKER_05: A place to reflect.
• 25:06
  SPEAKER_05: It was I can't hardly read this.
• 25:11
  SPEAKER_05: It was where he sat with Freddy.
• 25:15
  SPEAKER_05: I thought you said as a boy for hours on end, and where he enjoyed plenty of those warm Kentucky days.
• 25:23
  SPEAKER_05: I think it's one of one of the places that he fell most he felt most at peace.
• 25:29
  SPEAKER_05: I hope you savor this batch in a place where you find your own bit of uh happiness wherever that may be.
• 25:37
  SPEAKER_05: So go off and enjoy.
• 25:44
  SPEAKER_04: Good job, Xavier.
• 25:48
  SPEAKER_04: That brings me back to those.
• 25:51
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
• 25:52
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah, that that is uh that you need really good glasses for this band for this little now.
• 26:00
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
• 26:01
  SPEAKER_04: Another thing is the lighting.
• 26:03
  SPEAKER_04: Oh, yeah.
• 26:05
  SPEAKER_04: You saw me, I needed a light.
• 26:07
  SPEAKER_04: I was a light.
• 26:08
  SPEAKER_04: So, anyways, we're not gonna do the other part because we've done that in the past on the other when we did it individually.
• 26:14
  SPEAKER_05: So it's not that bright.
• 26:15
  SPEAKER_04: All right, so we got the two by the pond.
• 26:18
  SPEAKER_04: So one's based off of his dad's pond, so it's like got some pond water in it, and then the other is based off of the pipes that go nowhere in the thing.
• 26:29
  SPEAKER_04: So read the master distiller note.
• 26:32
  SPEAKER_04: No, I'm not.
• 26:33
  SPEAKER_04: We've done that before, uh, before.
• 26:34
  SPEAKER_04: We don't need to do it.
• 26:35
  SPEAKER_04: This is but this is by the pond.
• 26:38
  SPEAKER_04: Okay.
• 26:39
  SPEAKER_04: So even the young know it all engineers finally gave way to his experience and knowledge.
• 26:45
  SPEAKER_04: That's what Greg Schneider said.
• 26:47
  SPEAKER_04: He had a focus and a persistence that even the the everyone thought that, you know.
• 26:53
  SPEAKER_04: So there we go.
• 26:54
  SPEAKER_04: It's it's still it's still going down.
• 26:59
  SPEAKER_04: Everybody on YouTube, maybe that's the angle because it seems like we got a lot more watchers.
• 27:04
  SPEAKER_04: All right, so we're gonna put these two up against each other.
• 27:06
  SPEAKER_04: So the first thing we're gonna do is nose them.
• 27:09
  SPEAKER_04: Let's nose them together.
• 27:11
  SPEAKER_04: Together?
• 27:13
  SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
• 27:14
  SPEAKER_05: Or one after another.
• 27:15

• 27:41
  SPEAKER_04: Wow, the pipes batch has a lot more ethanol.
• 27:48
  SPEAKER_04: I need to get this into a different glass.
• 27:50
  SPEAKER_04: I don't like the smell of that glass.
• 27:53
  SPEAKER_04: I don't know why I don't like it, but I'm gonna grab a different glass here.
• 27:57
  SPEAKER_05: So I use the Scotchy Bourbon Boys for Buy the Pond batch, and I use the Jim Bean for the Phantom Pipes batch.
• 28:06
  SPEAKER_04: Let's see about that.
• 28:07
  SPEAKER_04: Much better.
• 28:15
  SPEAKER_04: Oh, it's ethanol and a ton of brown sugar.

  SPEAKER_04: There's not a lot of vanilla.
• 28:20
  SPEAKER_05: It's like butter, no, buttery brown sugar.
• 28:24
  SPEAKER_05: Like that cinnamon, like if like buttered popcorn.

• 28:40
  SPEAKER_05: I learned how to do it at home.
• 28:43
  SPEAKER_05: When mom said, go fix your own breakfast.
• 28:51
  SPEAKER_04: I remember I did it at school and then I came home and made everybody breakfast.
• 28:56
  SPEAKER_04: All right, so we got the nose.
• 28:58
  SPEAKER_04: So body-wise, I mean, they're not how different can they be?
• 29:02
  SPEAKER_04: They're 0.1% difference in proof, right?
• 29:07
  SPEAKER_04: Huh?
• 29:07

• 29:37
  SPEAKER_05: Well, I got a heavy pour of that uh Phantom pipe batch.
• 29:41
  SPEAKER_04: I don't have heavy pores of anything.
• 29:43
  SPEAKER_05: The Phantom's pipe batch is a little bit thicker.
• 29:47
  SPEAKER_05: And the Phantom Pipes batches are about close to the same color.
• 29:57
  SPEAKER_05: Wow.
• 29:59
  SPEAKER_05: I can hear you.
• 30:09
  SPEAKER_04: That's crazy.
• 30:18
  SPEAKER_04: It's really sweet.

  SPEAKER_05: Adam punch that's isn't quite as sweet.
• 30:47
  SPEAKER_05: Nope.
• 30:50
  SPEAKER_04: But it's got uh where this is excelling is the finish.
• 30:57
  SPEAKER_05: Oh my gosh, that finish is just going again.
• 30:59
  SPEAKER_05: Yeah, and it's it's just lasting in my mouth.
• 31:04
  SPEAKER_05: It's got that nutty brown sugar classic bookers.
• 31:12
  SPEAKER_04: Sweet.
• 31:14
  SPEAKER_04: There's no doubt.
• 31:17
  SPEAKER_05: So the nose is this one's got a more silky.
• 31:27
  SPEAKER_05: But then on the finish it it sort of goes to almost a dry oak.
• 31:33
  SPEAKER_05: What one?
• 31:35
  SPEAKER_05: The on the pond bag.
• 31:37
  SPEAKER_05: It sort of more got that dry oakiness on the finish.

  SPEAKER_04: I have water.
• 31:53
  SPEAKER_05: Just to give you a little bit better perspective.
• 32:02
  SPEAKER_05: I like the nose better on the on the pond.
• 32:05
  SPEAKER_04: I agree.
• 32:06
  SPEAKER_04: I think the nose.
• 32:08
  SPEAKER_04: The nose is better on the pond.
• 32:10
  SPEAKER_04: The taste is better on the pond.
• 32:12
  SPEAKER_04: Then the bodies are we gonna do that?
• 32:16
  SPEAKER_04: The bodies are the same.
• 32:18
  SPEAKER_04: We can we can do the old Louisville barrel bottle breakdown of each one and then see what we get for pressing.
• 32:25
  SPEAKER_05: And that would that would help us determine the score as to which one wins.
• 32:29
  SPEAKER_04: Yep.
• 32:29
  SPEAKER_04: So the old Louisville barrel bottle breakdown is going to determine what the score is and what who wins.
• 32:35
  SPEAKER_05: I will determine it by four categories, the nose and the body, which can get four points each, and the taste and the finish, which can get five points each.
• 32:46
  SPEAKER_05: And if one category excels in in one area, it started up again.
• 32:52
  SPEAKER_03: All right.

  SPEAKER_04: It stays in the back of your throat.
• 40:07
  SPEAKER_04: It stays on the on the back of your tongue.
• 40:11
  SPEAKER_05: I'm giving it a five.
• 40:13
  SPEAKER_05: I've already used my butt above it.
• 40:20
  SPEAKER_04: So at this point, it's tied.
• 40:33
  SPEAKER_05: So actually, we both gave it a sixteen on by the pond.
• 40:40
  SPEAKER_05: So what are you giving it on the finish?
• 40:43
  SPEAKER_04: Because right now, if I give the finish a four, it's a sixteen.
• 40:48
  SPEAKER_04: And I gave it a seventeen.
• 40:50
  SPEAKER_04: No, you gave it, no, it would be I give it a fifteen.
• 40:53
  SPEAKER_05: I gave it two, four, six, and five.
• 40:55
  SPEAKER_04: And what did I give it?
• 40:57
  SPEAKER_05: You didn't tell me you're finished.
• 40:59
  SPEAKER_04: No, what did I give the first three?
• 41:01
  SPEAKER_04: Two, four, and five.
• 41:05
  SPEAKER_04: So you gave it a seventeen, right?
• 41:09
  SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
• 41:11
  SPEAKER_05: Yep.
• 41:12
  SPEAKER_05: That's all that's already that's already gonna up it from by the pond.
• 41:18
  SPEAKER_04: No, it's I'm at 11.
• 41:20
  SPEAKER_04: Unless you under unless you undercut it by two.
• 41:23
  SPEAKER_04: If no, not by two by one.
• 41:25
  SPEAKER_04: Because if I give it a four, that makes it a that means you gave it a seventeen and I gave it a fifteen.
• 41:33
  SPEAKER_05: That would put us put it at a sixteen.
• 41:35
  SPEAKER_05: Yep.
• 41:36
  SPEAKER_05: Are you trying to make them even?
• 41:38
  SPEAKER_05: Oh my god, you see.
• 41:40
  SPEAKER_04: I I'm calling it a ring, I'll take them here.
• 41:44
  SPEAKER_04: I have to say I give the Phantom Pipe Spatch.
• 41:51
  SPEAKER_04: I'm being honest.
• 41:52
  SPEAKER_04: I give it a five.
• 41:55
  unknown: All right.
• 41:56
  SPEAKER_05: He didn't do it because I was calling you in here to ref referee.
• 42:01
  SPEAKER_05: So that gives scared of you.
• 42:04
  SPEAKER_04: So it's 16 on out of 18 on the pond.
• 42:11
  SPEAKER_04: By the pond.
• 42:11
  SPEAKER_04: And it's 16.5 on Phantom Pipes.
• 42:17
  SPEAKER_04: So Phantom Pipes becomes the Scotchy becomes the Scotch.
• 42:25
  SPEAKER_04: It overrode it.
• 42:27
  SPEAKER_04: And you know what, folks, you gotta let it sit in your glass.
• 42:30
  SPEAKER_04: Because I would say the first sip out, as what with Walker, I would say the first sip out.
• 42:36
  SPEAKER_04: Jerry's batch is good.
• 42:39
  SPEAKER_05: The ethanol on the first sip, the first two sips, the ethanol sort of overtakes it.
• 42:47
  SPEAKER_05: But once it sits in the glass and you you sip on it a little bit more, then that that coffee, the brown sugar, the little bit of oakiness and uh that sweetness just comes through.
• 43:00
  SPEAKER_05: Yep.
• 43:00
  SPEAKER_05: And then it's like by the pond, like I say, on the finish, that clove, or like you said, the niece was starting to show up.
• 43:11
  SPEAKER_04: So what I'll say is that out of all the years I've been associated with Bookers, which started in 2018, I will say that out of the four bottles.
• 43:25
  SPEAKER_04: I will say it, which is the fourth battle.
• 43:30
  SPEAKER_04: I will say we just that let's take this out.
• 43:39
  SPEAKER_04: All right, that's good.
• 43:42
  SPEAKER_04: I will say that this is 2025 years, 2025, since I've been having bookers in 2018 and collecting.
• 43:51
  SPEAKER_04: I will say 2025 was the best bookers year since.
• 43:57
  SPEAKER_04: I will say 2025 is the best in the last 18, 19, 20, 20, 22, 20, 20, in the last eight years.
• 44:06
  SPEAKER_04: In the last eight years?
• 44:08
  SPEAKER_05: Wow, you're going back that far.
• 44:10
  SPEAKER_04: Um ever since I've been treating all of them.
• 44:12
  SPEAKER_04: Ever since we've been, you know, I have 2019, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25.

  SPEAKER_04: All right, the Scotchy Bourbon Boys, remember WW, that's the old Louisville barrel bottle breakdown of By the Pond and Phantom Pipes and Phantom Pipes as one with the 16.5 score are bookers of the year.
• 45:31
  SPEAKER_04: Now, I'm gonna tell you Jerry's batch initially, when I put it up, I scored it higher than the 16.5.
• 45:38
  SPEAKER_04: So for me, this year has been amazing.
• 45:41
  SPEAKER_04: You're talking about 17s and 16.5s, and yes, I I love Jerry's batch.
• 45:48
  SPEAKER_05: Because I like to say I got the scorecard in there where we did it.
• 45:51
  SPEAKER_05: That was or that was the berry's batch.
• 45:55
  SPEAKER_04: Well, the berry's batch was okay, it was good, but I'm telling you, Jerry's batch when it came out, it got a 17 from me.
• 46:03
  SPEAKER_04: But I will also tell you when I was doing Bookers of the when we were doing the blinding, I picked, I had more this how we were doing with the blind.
• 46:12
  SPEAKER_04: I had Jerry's batch ahead of every, but it was me, you and C T that put in to make Buy the Pond come in.
• 46:21
  SPEAKER_05: So you're saying we ganged up on you?
• 46:23
  SPEAKER_05: No, well, that's how this works.
• 46:26
  SPEAKER_04: No, no, there's no title.
• 46:27
  SPEAKER_04: I do like Jerry's batch, but I also like I'm gonna put up personally, but the Scotchy Bourbon Boys Bookers of the Year this year is Phantom Pipes, one of the coolest names, too.
• 46:40
  SPEAKER_05: And one of the cool things, but it's got it it it's and the story, the story, that's that's what that was what was interesting to me.
• 46:49
  SPEAKER_05: That that they still have all these phantom pipes that are still hanging in the building, that they finally just decided to leave them up there.
• 47:03
  SPEAKER_04: I wonder what he was using them for.
• 47:04
  SPEAKER_04: That's crazy.
• 47:05
  SPEAKER_04: Anyways, all right, so that's well as as I said in the story, he was he was connecting things like you know all across the the plant with them and all.
• 47:18
  SPEAKER_05: And so but it wasn't quite to the engineering specs that uh that they did, and the more sanitary pipes that were put in.
• 47:28
  SPEAKER_05: That's that's the thing.
