Booker's "Bardstown Batch" 2021-03 Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey

Jim Beam's grandson Booker Noe couldn't wait to turn 21 ― not so he could start drinking, but rather distilling. Being 6th generation distiller with Beam blood coursing through his veins, as well as growing up in the heart of Kentucky, it was only natural. He worked for years as a Master Distiller, then started bottling his very own bourbon as gifts for family and friends after retiring. In 1988 he released the first batch of his namesake Booker’s Bourbon to the public, coining the phrase "small batch" along the way. Today Booker's is run by his son Fred and operates under the Jim Beam distillery. "Fred, make sure they don't mess with my Booker's," is what he requested of his son at his retirement.

Each year sees a few batches of Booker's uncut and unfiltered bourbon released, each of these meticulously aged to perfection ― it's ready when it's ready. The third release in 2021 is called Bardstown Batch, paying tribute to the home of Master Distiller Booker Noe and several generations of the Beam family. While Booker Noe was born in Springfield, KY, he would visit Bardstown regularly with his grandfather, finally moving there after college. The bourbon comprises barrels from 4 production days that were matured in 5 different warehouses. Bottled at a cask strength of 125.5 proof, the whisky is aged 6 years and 5 months.
