Fingers crossed they consider making this Booker’s sampler pack available to the public!

@obky_bourbonite This is cool. Did you pick up on any way to get involved?

[Bourbinfo @bourbinfo]

@d_tao I thought that might be the case but couldn’t get the words right.

I also kinda want to find some of their rye and see if I pick up on any malty cereal notes!

[Bourbinfo @bourbinfo]

@d_tao GASP. My dream

[Bourbinfo @bourbinfo]

@d_tao I was expecting “happy KBF to all those who celebrate” today lol

[Bourbinfo @bourbinfo]

@cmullis1209 Oh that sounds stellar. Let’s get more #BooksAndBourbon going!

[Bourbinfo @bourbinfo]

@alancornett That sounds enticing. How is it?!

[Bourbinfo @bourbinfo]

@BourbonLens @BourbEnthusiasm Agreed, that’s the elephant in this theoretical room!

[Bourbinfo @bourbinfo]

All that to say…the water droplets make a big impact on smell and taste, but NOT on proof!

This is why I like buying higher proof offerings. There’s SO much room for tweaking. A drop of water, a splash, an ice cube? All great options!

[Bourbinfo @bourbinfo]

One of my favorite things to do with a new whiskey is to add a drop of water to see how it changes the smell and taste.

How much are we changing it though?

Time for some Wednesday #WhiskeyMath.

[Bourbinfo @bourbinfo]

Applying the same approach to low- and high-proof whiskeys, the result is generally the same. An 80-proof whiskey with a drop of water is still almost 80 proof, and a 120-proofer might go as low as 119 for a quarter-ounce worth.
