The History of Booker’s Bourbon
Booker’s® Bourbon is one of the only bourbons available today that is bottled straight-from-the-barrel, uncut and unfiltered, yielding an intense flavor and nose that is one-of-a-kind. Following century-old traditions, each barrel is aged for six to eight years, slowly developing its own natural proof, between 121 and 127, and ensuring each bottle has reached its peak flavor. Booker’s® Bourbon is made in small batches and offers a range of intense flavors – from oak tannin and smoky vanilla, to lesser notes of mocha and coffee – each creating a rare complexity within the bourbon. Patiently crafted and robust in flavor, it is best enjoyed with ice or cut with water.

About Booker Noe
Booker, described as a big man with an even bigger heart, took great care in upholding and maintaining the Beam family’s commitment to quality. As the Master Distiller Emeritus at the Jim Beam Distillery for more than 40 years, Booker knew every barrel of bourbon inside and out. In 1988, Booker introduced his own namesake bourbon: Booker’s®, the world’s first uncut, straight-from-the-barrel bourbon, and the first of the legendary Small Batch Collection®. Like his unfiltered bourbon, Booker had a tell-it-like-it-is style, and when he spoke of bourbon and his family’s heritage, he did it straight from the heart. He continued to maintain the high standard of quality that his great-great-great grandfather, Jacob Beam, first established in 1795, until he passed away on February 24, 2004
