Booker's 2024-03 "Master Distiller's Batch" Bourbon

Booker's 2024-03 "Master Distiller's Batch" Bourbon is a powerful, uncut, and unfiltered small-batch bourbon that represents the Booker Noe legacy of bold, full-proof whiskey craftsmanship. This limited release from the 2024 collection honors the Master Distiller tradition established by Booker Noe himself, who revolutionized bourbon by bottling whiskey straight from the barrel at cask strength without chill filtration. Hand-selected from specific rack locations in Jim Beam's premium warehouses and aged between six and eight years, this batch showcases the intense character and complexity that can only come from leaving bourbon in its purest, most robust form. Each bottle is individually labeled with its exact proof and bottling date, making every release unique and highly sought-after by bourbon collectors and enthusiasts who appreciate whiskey at its most authentic and uncompromising.

On the nose, this Master Distiller's Batch reveals rich aromas of caramel, vanilla, toasted oak, and baking spices with hints of dark fruit and roasted nuts. The palate is bold and full-bodied, delivering intense flavors of brown sugar, butterscotch, charred oak, and cinnamon with layers of leather, tobacco, and pepper that showcase the bourbon's cask strength power. The finish is exceptionally long and warming with lingering oak tannins, sweet vanilla, and a pleasant heat that evolves beautifully. While the high proof makes it a robust sipper, adding a few drops of water can open up additional complexity and make the flavors more approachable. Best enjoyed neat or with a splash of water to unlock its full depth, this bourbon rewards patient, thoughtful sipping. Whether you're a seasoned bourbon enthusiast seeking bold, uncompromising expressions or a collector looking for limited releases with genuine character, Booker's 2024-03 "Master Distiller's Batch" delivers unfiltered bourbon excellence in every powerful pour.
