The "Big Easy" is Here! | Booker’s 2026-01 Bourbon Review The first Booker’s release of 2026 is officially on the table! Today on Your Bourbon Journey, Wayne and Rebecca are diving into Booker’s Batch 2026-01, "The Big Easy." This batch pays a special homage to Booker Noe’s legendary love for New Orleans—specifically his obsession with the city's iconic Lucky Dog street carts! But beyond the story, how does the liquid hold up? At a staggering 129.1 proof (the highest we've seen in a while!), this 7-year, 2-month, and 15-day-old bourbon is a true powerhouse. We break down the unique "confectionary sugar" and molasses nose, the "explosive" palate, and that signature wood char and cinnamon finish that makes this batch a standout. Is it worth the $99.99 MSRP? Stick around to find out if we’d buy this one again! In this video, we discuss: --The story behind the "The Big Easy" name and Booker Noe’s NOLA trips. --Full breakdown of the 129.1 proof and 7+ year age statement. --Detailed tasting notes: From "Boston Baked Beans" peanuts to espresso pops. --Our final verdict: Is this a "must-buy" for 2026? #Bourbon #WhiskeyReview #BookersBourbon #TheBigEasy #BourbonJourney #WhiskeyTasting #KentuckyBourbon #HighProof #JimBeam #BourbonCommunity #CaskStrength #WhiskeyGram #YourBourbonJourney #NewOrleans #BourbonHistory
