Distilled in 1993 and aged for seven years and one month, this release from Booker's is a dusty version of the modern uncut, unfiltered whiskey from Beam. This was a Japanese export, brought back to the U.S., and I'm stoked to be reviewing it here today.

Bold and musty, it’s still shockingly on profile for bookers. Extra tobacco, some old cola and a touch of muted peanut funk, but all the classic Booker’s notes are here.
Rich and sweet on the palate. The heat is muted, while the musty, peanut brittle and bold cola notes are not. So much cola compared to a modern bottling. It’s awesome and has tons going on.
Long finish, oaky and dry, extra peanut brittle and nougat, heavy caramel and cola.
A stunner. It’s not worth five times what Booker’s costs today, but it’s an incredible journey back in time.
