Where to buy horse soldier bourbon
Booker's Bourbon + Horse Soldier Bourbon
[Music]
go was it coming in for a landing
to those people oh I'm Daniel Rex
Booker's Booker's we have to have done
Booker's I like bait but well remember
this is a cool thing I think okay so
there are companies like barrel bourbon
by the way this is from Harry Falkenberg
everybody wanna give us it no no no no
no he's patron saint
[Applause]
[Music]
and bookers is not getting as much
credit as I think they deserve which is
ironic to say about a really famous
well-known brand but essentially what's
happening is they have started to do
what companies like barrel bourbon and
where they hand select single releases
and special editions and just release
with a slight variance in flavor
profiles each time yeah yeah so barrels
winning all these awards
well Booker's have started to do this
where they're releasing editions of
Booker's that are each chosen according
to the preferred preferences of one of
the people in the company okay and it's
always going to be in the the character
of Booker's but it might be a slight
variation and I think that's a really
cool thing to do never a large brand I'm
getting more of a caramel and vanilla on
this nose than I was expecting
yeah yeah this one is for Theresa would
immerse she worked in the lab in quality
control and blended batches of bourbon
with Paterno and then continued to help
with his son Fred oh so she works in the
lab yeah she just the last train today
hey come over here let's do a little
sauce doing that you like yeah all right
they need more credit for that six years
three months in one day old 77 corn 13
ride 10% malted barley Oh see I think
Booker's is one of the most there's a
lot they're underrated big brand so you
got the Booker's the Baker's the basil
Hayden and enough basil Hayden enough
and I think of those behaviors is
probably the least recognized and it was
kind of we I think we liked it yeah well
way back in the day I think we did some
side by side between those four yeah I
like the big but I think that Booker's
while really well known and sought-after
is is not getting enough credit for
creating interesting variation yes deep
colored that's yeah it's just a good
version and is that cash strength again
yes is this CEOs sixty two point nine
five percent what this smells like it
smells like the spice section and a
Cracker Barrel and the gift shop I know
what you say yeah
right all right like you can smell the
food being cooked and pancakes but they
have this case like the crafty
knick-knack yeah like old southern type
of tchotchke stuff yeah so you get the
wood floors the baked goods being cooked
for breakfast next door and then all of
the the whole thing John tried to do the
Cracker Barrel over there in Buda
yeah that's nonsense it's two bits busy
like it's really crowded it's always
crowded it's like the crowded barrel see
what I do uh-huh I just led you down
that one are you doing here all week
okay so add a little water to this
because it is no it's it's 62 point it
is a very high proof whiskey but you're
not overwhelmed by the hall the alcohols
its present and it shows up for real any
a little more wanted but it's not
kicking your ass so much just a little
that's good the sweetness subsided a
little bit and the grain came out oh
yeah with a little water that's it's a
lot more rounded and rich than that
perfumey heavy-handed kind of flavor
profile it does kind of melt those
flavors together yeah it's beautiful
melts them together the oak shows up
very nicely it doesn't go too far with
it too far with the lid eNOS by the way
a Harry get those Harry sent us this
bottle in one of those Chinese puzzle
containers right that has like a lot
wood blocks on it and then rope and ball
and things and you have to undo the
puzzle to get to the bottle right I
figured out how to do the puzzle huh you
know how puzzles are hard I think Harry
vastly overestimates the amount of time
we have more patience anyway to dick
around with the body now he thinks more
highly of us than we deserve he they'll
figure it out yeah
with a knife okay so this straight out
of the Rubicon man well once I get it
opened
straight ahead of the Rubicon this is
like brother John with Sinskey John get
you magnificent this is horse soldier
bourbon it's named s oh it's a company
called American freedom okay distillery
I think they are on eclis from Singapore
yeah started in Florida if I remember
correctly
well so what it was was it was a group
of some of the first men to be dropped
into Afghanistan on horseback they jump
in a movie about him part of that group
founded this distillery now they did a
really cool thing which was they wanted
to create their own whiskey but while
they were building up their own
distillery right instead of just
sourcing they went to Middle West
spirits okay right which is in Columbus
Ohio and had Middle West spirits crafted
their whiskey four of them okay
according to what they wanted to create
yeah and then stay set on it so this is
two years old
whoa but it's actually a craft made
whiskey not not a just a source from
like we did from MGP a lot more
developed in just two years right I'm
getting a really nice candied walnut and
vanilla yeah I I agree completely on
those things and I really like the
walnut note to this yeah slight kind of
wax Enis
I'd already 3.5% I don't often get the
candied walnut but when I do I enjoy it
oh I like that there's a bitterness to
it that's not bad there's a bitterness
to it like like it like zesty or yeah so
I'm thinking of it like this when
something is pleasantly sour like a sour
candy yeah and you're looking for sour
because you want that to be part of the
experience right this is that kind of
salary there's a that's a barrel grain
sourness to it that's not like it's gone
off it's like it's a part of the
experience I agree that's interesting
fairly little proof of 43.5%
but it's enough to
some layers in there it's interesting a
lot very high right
they already percent right I'm gonna
reverse where the that Tang is coming
from I try a little bit of water in this
even though it's low just to see what
happens and then some honey and sweet
tea sweet tea with honey mixed in there
mmm yeah I like this it's nice
we got citrate be true on my journey of
miniatures to explore any whiskey I
tried my first peated I think I'm a con
con Maura that was the photo that the
lizard that you stepped on was I think
I'm a converse I think I'm a convert to
Pete there you go so here's the thing I
forgot about miniatures yeah we've never
really brought it up and we recommend
trying out things we always say go to a
bar that has a good whiskey slip in some
is just so hard to find miniatures with
a good selection it is
so here's the thing locally it specs all
the mentors are things like coconut rum
and tequila Jim Beam right so if you can
find a local store that has a decent
miniature selection of real whiskey
expense and I think us included more
craft distilleries should be focused on
miniatures right because it gives people
a chance to buy introduction especially
at Christmas you know like stocking
stuffers for your kids yeah you know
it'll be a good Christmas yeah
anyway I love that idea so good on you I
think if you live in an area where you
can get a selection of miniatures that's
a great way to try new whiskey before
committing to four bottles and then we
got the do you want a maker
I've got underwear older than that
whiskey now I only put that in there
because I just love that idea I love the
idea that anybody would be confident
responding to somebody else's post with
I've got older than that whiskey and he
commented on that on our post of
Macallan 18 you have like it's time to
buy a new underwear man I don't care how
clean I'm imagining this you know Swiss
cheese this users just tissue paper or
it's just hanging in like lucify eggs
from an elastic band
like there's not even the connective
pieces anymore have fun where you have
just like it a tattered hobo kilt it's
like a grass skirt but made from cotton
strips from underwear remnants all right
so these made me laugh the the horse
soldier from surprisingly I really
enjoyed and I didn't wet sure the walnut
shows up a little less on the taste than
it does the nose but it's still there
enough I like the bottle look what they
did on the cork I just wanted you to saw
yes you've been wanting to do this in
what year the exacting how did they do
the thing we're gonna have to call him
if I call him the hell up because they
did a thing we like it ah did I knock it
over oh okay good I'm going back to the
hookers though cuz here er here's to
fighting stealing and drinking you fight
me a fight for a French deal may use do
