Taken from the center-cut or middle sections of the famous Warehouse H, Blanton’s Original Single Barrel was once designated for ambassadors, dignitaries, and Colonel Blanton’s family and friends. Today, everyone has access to the world’s first single barrel bourbon. The taste profile is sweet, with notes of citrus and oak. The creamy vanilla nose is teased with caramel and butterscotch, all underscored by familiar baking spices such as clove, nutmeg, or cinnamon. Blanton’s Original set the standard for single barrel bourbons in 1984. Best served neat or on the rocks. Bottled at 46.5% alcohol by volume.

Bookers Bourbon Batch 2023-04 ?Storyteller Batch? is a meticulously crafted expression that pays homage to the rich storytelling tradition embodied by the brand and its founders. This batch is a composition of barrels selected from four different production dates and aged across four distinct warehouses, each contributing uniquely to the bourbon's final profile. The careful selection and placement of barrels underscore the complexity and depth of this exceptional bourbon.

Master Distiller Notes: The 'Storyteller Batch' is characterized by its rich amber color with a golden shine, an inviting visual that promises a premium bourbon experience. The scent of brown sugar fills the room upon pouring, a precursor to the delightful and well-balanced flavors that await. With notes of vanilla and wood, this bourbon provides a taste that is both deep and complex, perfect for sipping on a cool day, with a warm finish that heralds the arrival of fall.

Enticing to all the senses, the aroma of fiery spice blends with the mellowness of Jack Daniel's and a hint of red hot cinnamon. The result is a sweet, hot cinnamon kick that complements the smooth and delicious taste of Jack Daniel's, giving you a unique finish full of unmistakable character.

On the palate, it presents a smooth, velvety texture that balances the rich, creamy notes of peanut butter with the subtle sweetness and warmth of the whiskey.

Unlike Bourbon or Rye, which, by definition, must be aged in new oak barrels, the US*1 Unblended American Whiskey is aged in a way that utilizes whiskey-soaked barrels to achieve a rich and unique flavor profile. Crucially, the US*1 Unblended American Whiskey never contains grain neutral spirits – hence its “unblended” distinction.

Nose: Polished oak, buttery corn and a kick of caraway spiciness.

Palate: Wonderfully creamy on the palate, boasting notes of butterscotch, golden syrup and sultanas.

Finish: Corn appears again, with peach and apple alongside it.

Since the 1990’s, the Michter’s team has been doing pioneering work to re-establish the high quality American Rye whiskey category. 

The May 2015 inaugural release of Michter’s US*1 Barrel Strength Rye marked yet another milestone in that quest. 

For maturation, the Rye distillate is entered into the barrel at 103 proof, rather than amore industry standard higher proof. Barrel entry at a lower proof of 103 rather than a higher proof costs Michter’s more money in terms of barrels and warehousing, but they believe it yields a richer, smoother, more full-bodied whiskey after proper maturation. 

A single barrel product, each barrel of Michter’s US*1 Barrel Strength Rye is bottled at its particular alcohol level at the time of bottling. The majority of barrels in the releases range from 107 to 112 proof. 

Michter's has accomplished something quite novel through its particular use of two different barrels to age the bourbon. For this one-time release, Michter's barrel ages its US*1 Bourbon as usual to full maturation and then transfers it for an additional period of time to a special custom made barrel for finishing. Constructed from wood staves that have been cured by 18 months of air-drying, this unique finishing barrel is toasted for a precise amount of time, but never charred like a typical bourbon barrel.

Tasting Profile: Campfire and cinnamon, with pecan and candied fruit. Lingering finish of baked pears, vanilla, and marshmallow.
