Booker’s True Barrel Small Batch Straight Bourbon Whiskey is a well-known brand of Kentucky straight bourbon whiskey produced by the Jim Beam distillery. It is named after Booker Noe, the former master distiller at Jim Beam, who played a significant role in developing and popularizing small-batch bourbon.
Booker’s Bourbon is known for its high proof and robust flavor profile, as well as its small-batch production process. Each batch of Booker’s is uncut and unfiltered, allowing the full flavor of the bourbon to come through. It is aged for six to eight years and bottled at barrel strength, typically around 120 to 130 proof.
The specific expression you mentioned, “Small Batch 2023-01E,” indicates that it is a particular batch released in January 2023. Each batch of Booker’s has its own unique characteristics, influenced by factors such as the specific barrels used and the aging process.
As with all bourbon, Booker’s must meet certain legal requirements to be labeled as such. It must be produced in the United States, made from a grain mixture that is at least 51% corn, aged in new charred oak barrels, distilled to no more than 160 proof, entered into the barrel for aging at no more than 125 proof, and bottled at a minimum of 80 proof.
Booker’s Bourbon is highly regarded among bourbon enthusiasts for its quality and complexity, and each batch release is eagerly anticipated by collectors and connoisseurs alike.
