This is an untouched transcript from the 07.03.2024 episode of Bourbon Note Tasting (formally Bourbon On Wax), a Spotify podcast that talks about music and whiskey, and how they blend well together. Link to the show below.

Welcome, to an all new episode of Bourbon Note Tasting, I’m your host Tyler. Before we get into the show, I ask that you like, subscribe, leave a review and five stars for your favorite podcast that blends music and whiskey. That would be this one.

Thank you.

We’re doing things a little different with this week’s article. Instead of going through it and reworking it for publication like any self-respecting writer would do, here’s the podcast of how it was written. No edits. Keeping it real. I will also sprinkle in the songs we would have featured, as a bonus. If you just want to hear the show and the songs, click here.

Benjamin Gibbard’s Former Lives Album Art Blended with Booker’s Bourbon — By Tyler Foran

The Jim Beam bomb known as Bookers, is the subject for today’s show. And specifically… the Bookers 04/23 or “The Storyteller” as they have branded this one it’s 127.8 proof Aged 7 YRS 2 MO 29 DAYS

I came across this bottle back in March of this year. It was being held behind the counter under the dubious Points system at retail.
