Fans of Booker’s Bourbon eagerly await its new releases. They don’t have to wait any longer because it just released the third release of the Booker’s 2024 Collection. It’s called Booker’s Batch 2024 03 “Master Distillers Batch,” and it was distilled to pay tribute to all the distillers (including his dad Booker Noe) that seventh-generation Jim Beam Master Distiller Fred Noe admired as he was learning the art of whiskey-making.

“Back in the day, being a Master Distiller just meant running the distillery. But these elder statesmen changed all that, raising the bar for all of us,” he said in a press release. “The job went from spending every waking moment in the distillery, to traveling the world, all the while introducing people to our beloved bourbon. They became spokesmen and celebrities in their own right.”

He added, “They made the job as big as they were. I’ve looked up to these guys my whole life.”

It’s a blend of bourbons produced on two different production dates that were stored in four different warehouses. It’s matured for specifically seven years, eight months, and seven days. The result is 130.3-proof known for its palate of vanilla beans, caramel, oak, and baking spices. It’s a sweet, spicy, bold sipping whiskey. With such a high-proof, it might be a clever idea to add a few dashes of water to open up the aromas and flavors.

I tried Starbucks’ new Pecan Oatmilk Cortado and it’s not what I expected at all
What I thought of this fall-inspired Cortado
Starbucks pecan cortado

When Starbucks first released its version of the cortado in January, it instantly became a favorite of mine. To me, the perfectly balanced construction of equal parts espresso and steamed milk in a cortado makes for the perfect beverage that's strong enough in espresso flavor, but still has a good bit of creaminess. This small but mighty espresso drink always hits the spot, especially when you're looking for a drink that's low in liquid volume but high in caffeine content.

I'd describe myself as what I call a "classic coffee drinker." By this, I mean that I tend to shy away from fancy espresso beverages and flavored drinks that have lots of "add-ons" like caramel drizzle or cookie crumbles. I love coffee and espresso in its purest form, and I tend not to like drinking coffees that are overly sweetened.
