Episode 78: Write Your Own Booker's Story Part 2

Remember way back in April of 2022 when we launched Episode 40: Write Your Own Booker's Story?  Well its time for part II!  If you're not familiar with Booker's, its a cask strength Bourbon from our friends over at Jim Beam.  Each expression is launched quarterly and newer bottles come in a wooden box with a small card with a written story that explains how they named the batch and what barrels make up the blend.  Now imagine if you could write your own story for a batch of Booker's - that's exactly what we do on this episode.   Grab a pour and get ready for the chaos!  Write Your Own Booker's Story is a fan favorite and our favorite too!  We had so much fun writing not one, not two, but three Booker's stories as Mike, Devin, and even Katie Mitchell join in on the fun.  At the end of the episode we review a reaaaaaallllyyy special Booker's batch that means the world to us.  We certainly poke fun of Booker's on the show, but absolutely love the brand and the whiskies in the Jim Beam portfolio.  Go get some Booker's Bourbon! Cheers!   Support the show [https://www.patreon.com/allthingswhiskeypodcast]
