I used to use Bookers as a test to see if someone was a real Bourbon drinker. I'd give them a shot and if they went running for someplace to throw up, they were out of the Bourbon Academy!

And I had a friend who was a Vietnam Marine who owned a bar. I brought in my own bottle for him to try, and he loved it. Too much. A woman was giving him some lip and he pulled out his .45 and fired a round into the ceiling to let her know how he felt. The next day he told me that Bookers was banned.
Thanks, I'll search the thread to find any comments. I read some good things about it elsewhere basically describing it as "Quintessential Bourbon, the very model of full-bodied bourbon, cherry-picked barrels, uncut, and unfiltered. If people want to know what the essence of bourbon tastes like, I send them to Bookers." Sounded pretty good to me so I went ahead and ordered a bottle.
