    This is a DAMN good bottle. I had several chances to buy it, but i never did. I even saw it for $135 and $140 but got something else because im not a huge beam or bookers fan. Bookers kentucky tea batch i have and like, storyteller is pretty good too. Apprentice was not good, and there's another i had that i didnt care for, i just started collecting just about a year ago. Luckily my brother got it for me for xmas. I swear, the only reason he got me a bottle w a price tag like that is because he knows hes guna drink some too. He didnt want to buy it for himself, but he figured he could get it for me for xmas and still get to drink some, eventhough he knows im not a huge fan of bookers. So yea, he got it for me so he could drink some n not get crap from his wife for spending that much. But im happy he did, its really good. And lucky for me it doesnt have much of the nutty profile im not a fan of.

    I like how you mention you opened the bottle and let it sit for a while and got some air into it because that is literally what I had to do with Reflection II from Blue Run. I wasn't a huge fan of it at first (really wanted Reflection I, but couldn't get it), but after it sat for a little bit after I opened it, it completely changed and I love it now.

      I have reflection 1. Its not all that great. Not terrible, but nothing special. This LB 7 is a damn good bottle. Even the first crack was really good. Theres some bottles that the first pour was the best, then kinda falls off, but not many. Usually they get better as they open up, as you know im sure

    Two words for Chapter 7: "frikkin awesome". Grilled pineapple on the front... a really nice ash on the back. Not, like, soot, but ash, like slow aged wood. And, I'd never think it was 118 proof... goes down easy. Just picked up a bottle and now I need to find a backup...

    @BatchAndBloom 3 месяца назад

    This is a blending masterpiece, where the sum of its parts is better than each element. This took elements from all 6 of the prior little books. Little book 6 was not good at all but this makes that component shine in the blend.

    so honest question. I bought a 23-04, I opened it up in anticipation. smelled wonderful, however upon tasting, I gagged, I literally almost threw up. It was a HEAVY peanut taste and something just didnt agree with me. then again, I hate Jim Beam product, but wanted to try Bookers. I'm not sure what went wrong here.

    Jealous that my brother got to go to the grand opening, but atleast he got me a couple bottles! Also I was disappointed with LB7, beam isn’t my profile in general, but I just a lot of grass and earthy notes in not a pleasant way. I’ll stick with just regular bookers, seems to be more consistent and better for my palate.

      It’s one whiskey from each of the previous, plus one new whiskey. Also the previous ones have been allowed to age this whole time. So for example, I am pretty sure the 17 year in Ch 7 is a Baker’s aged 17 years, as it came from ch 2 which had a 12 year Baker’s.
