I'm sure its what the American Native Indians called 'Firewater'!!! My only disappointment was that when I returned to Australia to reside, the price grew up to AU$120.00 a bottle!!! Still a 'Bargain' for the World's best Bourbon!!! I've mastered sipping it straight!!! I first encountered Booker 126 Proof whilst living in Oakland New Jersey in 1999.

Jewish guys are cut and Gentiles are uncut. Dear Sir,

‘Apparently this is “uncut” and not in a Jewish way’

That does not make sense. Jewish guys are cut and Gentiles are uncut.

I love the complex flavors and the heat for 126 proof is not bad its good, and i love it.This is like others say what good bourbon is about. I love the others in my collection but my #1 Bookers!

I enjoy it with a few rocks to knock the edge off the burn and bring out the sweetness. I also prefer a strong maduro cigar to go with this libation. I also keep Wild Turkey 101 and Jim Beam around for an every day drink.

I love bourbon and would like to try them all. I keep several brands on hand rotating from Makers Mark to Knob Creek to Willetts. I keep a 1.75 of Old Crow under the sink for everyday use. I love the top shelf brands for their uniqueness. I also enjoy the bottom shelf brands for their "blue collar" everyday appeal. I hope this bottle of Bookers stands up to its billing.

Small sips with a swirl around the mouth to diffuse them. This is the real thing. I, too, drink it neat. Small sips with a swirl around the mouth to diffuse them. This is the real thing.

I've been eyeing this for years as I've sipped on my (shame on me) single barrel jack daniels. I must say that I will never go back. I did as told and held back form the erge to take a sip as soon as I opened it. let it set on the rocks for a couple of minuts and enjoyed the aroma. Boy was it worth it. Took me to a place that I had never been before. My wife looked at me and laughed. She's one of those fancy mixed drink people and doesn't under stand the true joy of drinking a fine borboun. She said the look on my face was that of pure joy and satisfaction. Said she would make sure that we always have a bottle in the house for those bad days when nothing seems to cheear me up. So thinks you Mr. Booker Noe for helping me smile again! Just got my first bottle. I’ve been eyeing this for years as I’ve sipped on my (shame on me) single barrel jack daniels.

For years, after having tasted it a few times, I have told others that when you want to taste what Bourbon is supposed to taste like, try Bookers! Now I am finally arranging to buy a bottle. (That is, my daughter is getting me one for my birthday this week.) At the NH (state) liuquor store, they have pretty good prices- $41.00 this week. My question is, has anyone tasted either of the two batches that they currently have; C0 2-1-24 (i think), 128 proof, or A-18, at 126 proof, and if so, what is the tasting difference? Thanks for the advice. -tyler HI all:
