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.
Each batch varies in age, with batch 2024-01E bottled after 7 years, 1 month and 12 days of maturation. Sweet vanilla leads on the nose and palate, followed by charred oak, caramel and brown sugar.
Batch - 2024-01E

Maker:
In 1988, Booker Noe, Grandson of Jim Beam introduced his own signature bourbon - 'Booker's'- hand-selected and bottled straight from the barrel, uncut and unfiltered. He first created 'Booker's' as a holiday gift for close friends, but the whiskey was so well received that he decided to make it available to bourbon lovers worldwide.
This limited-edition bourbon embodies the spirit of its namesake, capturing the essence of his passion for crafting exceptional spirits. Each batch is a testament to Booker Noe's commitment to quality and innovation, reflecting his unwavering pursuit of the perfect bourbon.
The brand's philosophy is rooted in the belief that true craftsmanship lies in the details. Each batch is carefully selected, ensuring that only the finest barrels make it into the final product. The focus is on quality, not quantity, resulting in a limited-edition bourbon that is highly sought after by connoisseurs.

The focus on hand-selected barrels and the decision to bottle the bourbon uncut and unfiltered ensure that Booker's maintains its authentic character.
