Booker's 2024-04 Jimmy's Batch | Is it Worth Buying?

[@BourbonBroke]

I think it was pretty cool that Fred Noe gave a nod to Jimmy Russell on this bottle.

I love your bar area. The wood looks solid and perhaps older. Beautiful.

[@BourbonBroke]

Thanks! To be honest, I looked for a long, long time to find a bar that I liked and couldn't find what I was looking for, so I ended up working with a custom furniture company and had it built exactly how I wanted it. And yes, it's very solid...and heavy! lol. It's newer, but I had it built to look very older and vintage. Thanks for watching and commenting. I truly appreciate it.

I absolutely loved the 2024 03 so I grabbed this one as well. Bookers is tough because you gotta part ways with a Benjaman to pick one up and there are no guarantees.

[@BourbonBroke]

I totally agree. I loved the 2024 03, but didn't really care for this one. When it comes to Booker's, Elijah Craig Barrel Proofs, etc., the bottles in a series, they just can't all be great. Unfortunately, there are going to be ups and downs. And, some may really like this 2024 04. Everyone's palates are different. It just didn't do it for me. Thanks for watching and commenting!

I just picked this up for $85 at Costco

[@BourbonBroke]

Nice! I hope you enjoy it! Cheers!

I was hoping you were going to review this one soon after I saw you grab it from Harry’s. I may skip this one, unless the wife says otherwise 😂, she’s more of a Bookers fan than me. Cheers

[@BourbonBroke]

I thought it was just ok. Definitely not as good as the Master Distiller's Batch (why I kept thinking the Little Book Path Not Taken, I have no idea...good lord! lol. I didn't catch that until I was editing). With that being said, everyone's palate is a little different and some may really like the profile on the Jimmy's Batch. I'll go back to it in a month or so and see how it opens up. And yes, if Gina says get, you'd better get it lol.

These really don't end up in the secondary groups much. Online rip off shops are usually way higher than secondary.

Path Not Taken is Little Book, not Bookers

[@BourbonBroke]

I know. I don't why I kept thinking Path Not Taken was the 2024-03 Booker's. I realized I said that during editing. That's why I inserted the thought bubbles in, when I said it in the episode. Thanks for watching!
