Booker's Bourbon 'By The Pond' Batch 2025-02

Appearance: Deep amber with golden hues, reflecting its barrel-strength maturity. Nose: A rich bouquet of toasted oak, vanilla bean, and brown sugar, layered with hints of baking spice, roasted peanuts, and caramelized apple. Palate: Bold and full-bodied, opening with molasses, honey, and charred oak, followed by waves of dark chocolate, cinnamon, and black pepper. A subtle nuttiness, a signature of Booker’s, balances the sweetness. Mouthfeel: Intense and warming, with the uncut proof delivering a powerful yet velvety texture. Finish: Long, lingering, and robust — carrying notes of smoky oak, vanilla cream, and a gentle spice kick that stays with you.

Jim Beam Distillery – The Home of Booker’s

The Legacy of Booker Noe

Named after Booker Noe, the 6th Generation Master Distiller and grandson of Jim Beam, Booker’s Bourbon was first introduced in 1988 as one of the original small-batch bourbons. Booker wanted to share bourbon the way he drank it himself: straight from the barrel, uncut, unfiltered, and bottled at natural proof. Each batch pays tribute to his vision and passion for authentic, full-flavored bourbon.

Signature Flavor: Known for its bold proof, rich oak influence, and subtle peanut and vanilla notes that reflect the Beam family style.
