Sip of the week: Dec 8 - 14, 2025

BEHOLD this week's sip of the week: BOOKER'S!!

Get pours for only $8 instead of $10.

This is their second US release of 2025, and it's EXCELLENT.

Aged 7 years, 1 month, and 20 days, and coming in at 126.5 proof, here are some notes from Beam Family 7th Generation Master Distiller, Fred Noe.

"This batch was selected during a very wet spring with some record rainfall in Kentucky. I enjoyed the color of this batch which looked like some of the beautiful horses that compete for the Kentucky Derby. The nose is very inviting with vanilla and oaky notes that really is pleasing to me.

The first taste I put into my mouth was very nice and had a sweetness I enjoyed so I took a second. The second taste was nice and the finish complemented and completed the experience so well. I feel sure my dad would have enjoyed sipping the "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."
