Product Description
A powerful bourbon from the Jim Beam distillery. Booker's is named after the distillery's sixth-generation master distillery, Booker Noe. Casks for Booker's whiskey are drawn from the centre of the rackhouses, a noted sweet spot for temperature and humidity, and bottled without added water and only a light screening for filtration to remove large cask sediment, making for a wholly unadulterated bourbon.
Crafted from a meticulous blend of barrels aged over 7 years, this batch reflects a rich heritage of quality and craftsmanship. The bourbon showcases an amber hue that is visually striking, complemented by a nose of balanced oak, toasted nuts, and vanilla. With a bottled strength of 126.6 proof, every sip is a testament to the exceptional quality and intricate flavours that characterise Booker’s True Barrel Bourbon.
