Why Liquor Geeks recommends it
This is Booker's at its most unvarnished: a small batch Kentucky bourbon from James B. Beam Distilling Co., bottled uncut and unfiltered at full barrel strength after more than seven years of aging. The 'By the Pond' name nods to Booker Noe's favorite backyard retreat, where he liked to unwind with a strong, full-bodied pour, and the liquid lives up to that image. Expect toasted peanuts, charred oak and warm vanilla on the nose, then caramelized brown sugar, roasted almonds, dark cocoa and cinnamon, with leather and earthy grain building mid-palate before a long, dry finish of black pepper and subtle tobacco. It is a bold, contemplative bottle, better suited to the drinker who already enjoys barrel-proof bourbon than to someone reaching for a first bottle of the style, and it rewards patience and a few drops of water. We carry it because it pairs a heartfelt tribute to Booker Noe with genuinely deep, nutty, oak-driven character worth slowing down for.
Pairs well with
- Smoked brisket or ribs — The charred oak, black pepper and tobacco notes stand up to and echo the smoke and bark of slow-cooked meats.
- Dark chocolate — Bittersweet chocolate draws out the bourbon's dark cocoa, burnt sugar and roasted almond layers.
- Quiet evening on the porch — Its long, warming finish of dry oak and subtle tobacco is built for unhurried sipping, just as Booker enjoyed it by the pond.
