Favorite Whiskey?

I bought 2 while on Vacation in Yellowstone last fall. Got lucky with the batches. Both Batch 12 or or whatever batch was.Voted best Bourbon in the world a year or so back. I think....One for sippin, one for keeping.

 

Perfect score!

 

Got lucky for once.

 

11, 12, 13.....still working on 10 and I bought another 12 after the reviews started coming out.

 

Very nice! I really dig batch 12.

 

Im trying to drink them in order but 12 might jump the line

 

I'll have the Booker's Night results here shortly - I need to download them from PowerBI again.

In the interim, I added a couple of other Booker's.

2015-05 (Maw Maw's Batch)


I also was gifted this super cool Booker's mini as a thank you for hosting the night. Barreled on December 13th, 1989 and bottled on May 13th, 1996.

 

Have a toast with me sometime this week guys. New Army Green Pro on the way.
Build date 2/27/2020.
Received my 1st mod. So the is beginning.

 

Congrats!

 

Greatly appreciated!!

 

Hell yeah man, congrats! That Army green is badass.

 

I'll second this. Not a scotch fan at all, but I like the Auchentoshan Three Wood and American Oak.

 

Here are the results of Booker's Night - 2019 Batches.

I want to put a few things out there.

1. We drank them in order and one at a time, so it wasn't blind.
2. Teresa's was obviously first and I think the scores were a little suppressed to give some head-room going in to the next batches.
3. Many folks were comparing to other Booker's batches in their experience (I was guilty of this - Teresa's scored low for a Booker's for me, but I still think is a very good bourbon) - we'll shore that up next time.
4. Booker's Night originated as a way to get the guys together to try all the Booker's batches from a year. It was only about a week out from this one that I decided we'd formally score them and throw some data analytics at it. It was a great decision - everyone had fun with it. Next time, we need to add some more control to our process. Blind tasting, taste as a flight so they can be done side-by-side better/easier, stricter parameters around what we're testing, and, most importantly, adjusting the weights of each category. In hindsight, the palate really needs to account for more than 50% of the score. Probably closer to 60-65% at least.

Absolutely fun as hell, though. No one was aware that I was doing a Power BI data presentation and they were thoroughly impressed. I'll keep tweaking this basic framework and see what other tastings I can roll it out for. I had a talk with all three people from the Whiskey Crusaders. I helped develop a table for scores/notes/tags that they need to start capturing for everything that they review. If they can keep that consistent, I plan to eventually take the database of info and make a robust data analytics tool with a very intuitive UI. It could potentially become a subscription service item for them down the road. Long ways to get there, but we'll see!

 

Outstanding job my man!

 

Thanks! It was fun to geek out to.

 

Lemme know when the 10th, 25th, 30th, and rye flight test is...

I'll bring pretzels

 

As a heads up... wine.com is offering $50off an order of $150. There is no free shipping but still a great deal

 

Whats the code? I'm only seeing the 20 off 100

 

Saw this on IG.. guess I'll be looking for this one now too..

 

whoa, 18!. I'm still looking for a bottle of barrel proof of the regular small batch. really like that stuff.
