Big Buffalo Trace & Michter’s News, Booker’s Should Be Retired & Review of Booker’s 2025-03 Jerry’s Batch

In this episode, I dive headfirst into one of the most heated debates in the whiskey world: is it time to retire Booker’s bourbon? Yeah, I said it. And judging from the comments y’all sent in, some of you were ready to fight me in a Kroger parking lot over it.Before we get into the madness, I break down the latest whiskey news, including Buffalo Trace dropping a 125 proof Sazerac Rye and Michter’s launching a 20 year bourbon whiskey that’ll cost you your marriage and at least one kidney. Then I read your wild reactions to my Booker’s question, from “retire it” to “revamp it” to folks ready to defend it like it was their firstborn child.And to prove I’m not just talkin’ trash, I crack open and review the newest Booker’s release, Jerry’s Batch 2025-03. You’ll hear the full tasting notes, the verdict, and why I think the brand might be running on repeat even though I still love Beam.It’s hot takes, high proof, and a whole lot of Whiskey Freak energy. Tune in and let’s keep it honest.Grab the new book Whiskey Wisdom & Bourbon B.S.: Barrel Strength Legends, Lies, and Untold Tales here on Amazon:  https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FLNGXJL3Like what I'm doing?
