(#2) Fellow Distiller WhiskeyLonghorn recently posted his top 5 Whiskeys of 2020 and I thought it was such a great idea that I'm stealing it. To qualify, a whiskey did not need to be new, just new to me in 2020...so there will be some tried and true staples mixed in with the new releases on my list. I was able to narrow my list of 14 possibilities to 7 fairly quickly, but going from 7 to 5 proved a little tougher. Honorable Mentions will make an appearance after Whiskey #1. I won't bore you with a full re-review of each, but will give an overall impression. Should you want to read the full review, you shouldn't have to scroll too deeply in my tastes to find them. So...without further ado, I present my Number 2 Whiskey of 2020... Sorry, for the couple day delay. Back to my Top 5 with my Number 2 Whiskey of 2020. As stated in my review of KC12, I was surprised to have 2 (3 if you count MM101) Beam Bourbons included in my list. This was a bottle I purchased from Ace Spirits online for about $40 if memory serves, just before the price jump was announced. After opening it in March, I immediately Regretted purchasing just one. I described this one as "Rocket Fuel. Syrupy, Clingy, Delicious Rocket Fuel". More citrus than I typically get from Beam. With a splash of water it became one of those Old School McDonald's Caramel Sundaes with crushed peanuts. I'm not sure where this one ranks amongst the various Booker's releases, but it is one of the finest Bourbons I've ever had.
