Welcome back to DadDimes on the Rocks! Today, we’re pulling something outdoorsy out of the barrel: Boone and Crockett Club Straight Bourbon Whiskey. Inspired by the legacy of conservation and created for sportsmen, this bourbon is as rugged as it is smooth. Let’s see how it stands up in the wild.
The Story Behind the Bottle
- What It Is: A Kentucky straight bourbon, matured for two years and bottled at 86 proof (43% ABV)—crafted to honor the Boone and Crockett Club, founded by Theodore Roosevelt in 1887, the pioneering conservation organization.
- It's marketed as the perfect pour to enjoy after a day spent in nature—whether that means on the river, in the woods, or beside the campfire.
Tasting Notes & Experience
Appearance & Texture
Medium to dark amber, with a silky, smooth mouthfeel that sets a gentle tone right away.
Nose
Subtle and earthy, featuring notes of marzipan and tea with a whisper of vanilla oak. The overall aroma is refined, evoking a sense of calm after a long day hiking or hunting.
Palate
Balanced flavors of warm spice and vanilla-infused oak, with a soft core of sweetness. The bourbon’s profile remains approachable without being too bold—ideal for sipping and sharing stories around the fire.
Finish
Distinctively, this bourbon closes with a “smokey campfire finish”, channeling that cozy, outdoor vibe. It lingers in a gentle, comforting way.
Overall Feel
Boone and Crockett Club Bourbon is a tribute to nature, perfect for after-activity moments rather than high-intensity tastings. It prioritizes smoothness, consistency, and atmosphere over flash. At the price point (~$40), it’s both accessible and thematic—great for gifting or keeping on hand for casual sipping.
Final Verdict
Rating: 3.5 / 5
Strengths
Caveats
Smooth, easy-going flavor
Two-year age may feel light for bourbon enthusiasts
Cozy, campfire-style finish
Lower proof limits the complexity
Strong, meaningful brand story
Not a bold or adventurous profile
If you’re looking for a bourbon that carries more than just flavor—one with soul, purpose, and a nod to conservation—this bottle delivers. It’s not a heavyweight champ, but it’s a reliable friend after a long trail or a hard day’s hunt.
That’s our pour for Boone and Crockett Club Bourbon. Sip slowly, respect the land, and keep that adventurous spirit unbroken. Cheers!

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
