Loved every second of this. Very rarely do we feel like things are worth the hype but Booker’s Rye is on another level. We count ourselves lucky to have tried it, and it is without a doubt one of the most incredible pours we’ve ever had.
Glad you got to cross this off the bucket list and it didn't disappoint! Hoping one day I get a chance to try as well. Hilarious descriptions as always!
I thought it was all hype too, but after tasting Booker's Rye a couple times, it's hands down the best whiskey I've ever tried. They really need to come out with another release of it so I can actually attempt to buy it lol. Cheers Matt!
Hello Matty, thank you for reviewing this limited edition bottle. Even though it's rare, based on that review, I will search for it in a bourbon bar and buy a dram of it. I too am now ISO Booker's Rye! Thanks my You Tube bestie!
Thanks for posting this, I was unaware of the 2016 release. doing a quick online check, the cheapest bottle for sale is $3,699.00. Oh well, if there is a 2nd release I will try to grab one. Glad you got to try it! Thanks again!
Booker's Rye is definitely one of the pours I will continue to remember. Truly excellent stuff and I was lucky enough to sit down with a friend willing to let me have a couple pours. Of course, he was also lucky enough to get it at retail when it was released.
I'm so happy to watch you share your wonderful experience with us Matt. What happened to the swirl rating? Thought you had something there. Also in the future maybe do a burn test in the dark with anything over 120 proof, check the burn rating. Haha
Dang it! I had one and sold it 3 years ago for $2500 to a fancy wine shop on Maui. He turned around and sold it for the next day for $4000. The crazy rich people of Wailea Maui…cheers 🥃
That is my absolute number one unicorn of the bourbon and rye whiskey world!! I had the opportunity to try it at Bardstown and we were 4 minutes , I am serious 4 minutes late on them closing the till at the bar. Left a very very very sour taste in my mouth with regards to Bardstown. If you read this Bardstown Distilling ..... seriously seriously let me down.
Wow! Late viewer. Catching up. I was never Bookers fan. I've tried Bookers numerous times but was always turned off. However, Your 2 year old review, plus SIB's review this year, has me thinking that just maybe, the 2013 Bookers Rye release maybe worth looking for.
Thanks Matt for the beautiful description of that special bookers 2016. I think I may have a friend who has that. I will be asking for a taste, and hopefully I can call him an O. G too. A.M.E.R.I.C.A👊🏾. What's the other samples 🤔, can't wait to hear about those....
Booker's rye was always on my bucket list but after I saw the price,,it's now on my fuk it list,,, by the way Matt every time I open a bottle of whiskey now, I say "America" ,,,I just have to... my girlfriend looks at me and just shakes her head.. woohoooooo
Matthew Porter, I am a loyal follower and believe this is only the 3rd time I’ve seen you in the 9s…and you go 9.5. Whoa doggy, that’s a serious statement. Hey can you share the last 10 times you’ve gone 9 or better? Thanks Brother
I’m so tired of this “limited edition” crap on almost every bottle that comes out now. These stores are taking advantage and marking them up so high. Tired of looking for bottles now.
Hate to be a party pooper but the endless reviews everybody is doing on bottles 99.9% of us will never see except for on the internet is startinyg to get old. I am not dumping on you per se but you just happened to be the last straw of it. Prob gonna turn off my youtube alerts for awhile.
No doubt, haters gonna hate. Nobody wants to watch reviews of bourbon everybody can get. I can’t afford to buy something from behind the glass often, but when I can I sure like being able to crowd source on UA-cam to determine if it is worth a shit.
The vast majority of whiskeys Matt reviews are relatively obtainable with a little work and patience. Unfortunately if people only reviewed stuff readily available for everyone, only about 20 whiskeys whiskeys would ever get reviewed.
“Mark Maguire….that’s powerful” may be the best immediate tasting reaction I’ve ever heard.
lol, with plenty of HGH
Agreed

Geez, not even noon here and I'm watching this. Didn't know Bookers rye existed and now I know of another wonderful thing I'll never have.
Thanks Matt

I didn't miss the bus on that reference, Porter. Epic!
I thought it was all hype too, but after tasting Booker's Rye a couple times, it's hands down the best whiskey I've ever tried. They really need to come out with another release of it so I can actually attempt to buy it lol. Cheers Matt!
Watching this the day after, reminiscing about last night for the pour we had at a bar. Arguably one of the best whiskeys I’ve ever tasted

Loved the kriss kross reference
I like my growth hormone how i like my humans. Fair trade.

Great vid and happy to see reviews of special bottles. This is my favorite rye ever and happy I stocked up before the craziness.
I’m baking a coffee cake as I watch this.
Also, the Stephon Urkell reference was top notch!!
Boozy blueberry muffin, You have been Killing it lately. Stepped up a notch last few from already great reviews. What a ride
That Family Matters reference was top shelf.
The roller coaster had me dead 🤣

Wow, a Kris Kross "I missed the bus" deep cut. Shout out to you man lol. RIP to Kris Kelly.
"Lots of love making"... LOLOL Absolutely clasic

How could anyone hate you?!? Thanks for taking us along for the ride!

Awesome! Glad you loved it.
Hey, genuinely happy you got to try this and share your thoughts with us. Yeah, none of us are going to able to get it, but so what? Enjoy!
That's just great Matt! Another whiskey I will never get to try.
Lol @ the Stefon Urkell reference 😂
9.5? Damn. That is going to cost me a lot of money.
That is my absolute number one unicorn of the bourbon and rye whiskey world!!

Have you had a chance to try it since? It is off the charts… I want to open more of my bottles but never want to run out 🥹
maybe try being early if its so important to you haha
Good choice to for go the long pour...dont want to waste any of that deliciousness.
Is it me or do I find myself tipping my head back-and-forth when you take a sample, I think it’s me or does anybody else do it too!
Me Too! :) living vicariously through Mr. Porter! :)
Wow!

"So much love bacon..." we all do Matt.

I'm super jelly
Crisscross missed the bus classic Rye
"one ounce wednesday" I say wiggling my eyebrows to my wife
Can you post the top 10 whiskeys you have scored so far?? 🥃
Link is in the description
Shout out Big Mac and Stefon Urkel lol
Wow Bookers Rue for the win!
Need
Wooo
Everyone knows Fair trade makes the strongest HGH.
Is that the highest score you've ever given bro?
No way it’s worth the secondary price
Nothing is worth that much
Mathieu Portierre needs to take the antidote. Now. Fun’s over.
Whatcha talkin about?
If you’d like a second opinion I can send my address

@@rsconnor01 LOL! But really Joe, I for one am happy he reviewed. If I ever see it in a Bourbon bar by the dram, I now believe I would pony up for it.
