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 is a big, muscular style of bourbon with plenty of spice, dried fruits & toasted nuts. Each batch varies slightly as Booker's is bottled uncut at barrel strength usually around 60% abv. Remarkably well-balanced for such a brawny style, opens up nicely with a splash of water and would go even better with a good cigar. This batch is named in honour of Charlie Hutchens, the craftsman behind the signature wooden boxes that each bottle of Booker’s Bourbon comes in, in the American market. He is also a long-time family friend and former employee of Booker Noe. This batch is made up of barrels from four production dates that were aged in four different warehouses for over 7 Years. The breakdown of barrel storage for Booker’s 2023-01E is as follows: 3% came from the 5th floor of 7-story warehouse Q, 17% came from the 4th floor of 7-story warehouse G, 24% came from the 4th floor of 7-story warehouse Z, 27% came from the 5th floor of 7-story warehouse Z, 29% came from the 5th floor of 7-story warehouse 1. The colour of this batch is pleasant to the eye with an amber colour of a well-aged bourbon. The nose is balanced without too much wood and with hints of oak, toasted nuts, and vanilla. The taste is balanced with a slight warmth and has a pleasant finish. This batch was bottled at 126.6 proof. Batch - 2023-01E
