The Perfect Pair

For the first Grain & Leaf cigar and spirit pairing, we decided to address two brands that are bold and full-bodied from the start.

The spirit in this pairing was introduced in 1992 as the world’s first small batch bourbon, Booker’s Bourbon. Uncut and unfiltered, this bourbon is straight from the barrel. Booker’s Pigskin Batch consists of two different productions and aged in five different rackhouse locations. Aged for six years, seven months and seven days and bottled at 63.65% ABV, 127.3 proof, it has a long and warm finish. I would think it goes without saying that this bourbon is a sipper. It is big and bold with hints of oak, vanilla, spice and leather.
