Booker's 'Pigskin Batch' 2020-03 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 batch meticulously aged to perfection ― it's ready when it's ready. Pigskin Batch is the third and final of these for the year 2020. Crafted with barrels from 2 production dates that were aged at 5 different rickhouse locations, it's a complex, big, and bold whiskey with cinnamon and vanilla notes, characteristic of Booker's. Aged 6 years and 7 months in new American oak and bottled at 127.3 proof, it's a tribute to American football. Booker Noe was an avid football fan as well as a tackle and kicker during his high school days. Football became a family affair, during the holiday season as well as during the dad and son time spent with his son Fred, either kicking and throwing the football around or watching games on the TV.
